My get-pushed partner, Charles, challenged me to take a monochrome.
This is part of a large sculpture - two soldiers at war but shaking hands.

@zosimasy Hi. Many thanks for the challenge - I like the whole sculpture but it's a close up of the hands not quite touching that I find so poignant.

What a fantastic sculpture, it speaks of the futility of war. Powerful shot, super processing.

@jocasta

Hi Jocasta, I'm your pushed partner for this week's challenge. Sorry for the late challenge. I've gone through some of your recent images and it seems that you are quite comfortable with your photography. So I'm going to issue a challenge that was was just issued to me recently. Tell me a story about what photography means to you...

[Jocasta]

@davidtom wow - unusual challenge - but it's got me thinking. Thanks.

[Jocasta]

@nanderson All well thanks but still struggling with photo mojo. I'll email you about Lensbaby and colour.

[Bill Fenske]

Great choice for b&w.
