strictly speaking, monochromatic means using just one colour. This is a sublimely beautiful photo though - with a superb reflection! It would be a FAV for me!
@rustymonkey beautiful image and your thread got me thinking as some refer to a B&W image as a mono and if that's the case why is a back and green image not mono. So off to my little friend google - "a monochromatic image contains one color or shades thereof." So if you could make your background a shade of green then yes.
Monochrome in most camera clubs is a reference to 18% gray which is all digital cameras shot. Different shade of grey is what gives the contrast and shadows that are desirable for this category.
Most common usage is that "monochrome" is what others call "black and white." It's where the individual RGB channels have been flattened and only greyscale remains. Your example is lovely, but most would not classify it as monochrome.
No, it's not monochrome, but it's certainly well done! Monochrome is basically black and white- where grey is the predominant "color", but some folks stretch it to include the neutral setting on their camera and sepia shots. If you're uncertain as to how your club defines it, the best thing to do is contact someone and ask. I'm new to the club in my area and I've found them to be very patient with my questions!
@angelat@bruni@dh@homeschoolmom@sianipops@chapjohn@frankhymus@olivetreeann Thanks everyone for you input, there seems to be alot of different views on what monochromatic really is, will send it off to someone in the camera club as to their views on it. I looked up on the club sheet and it says "Single colour, black and white, sepia, red, or whatever works for your image" will let you know what they say.
