How Different in Black & White

I pass this stand of tree several times a week but never paid attention to the textures of the bark - they stand out so well in black & white. I'm enjoying this b&w month.

B&W processing adds so much to photographs - you can focus on the details without being distracted by the colors.

Ooo, very pretty! It really is amazing how shooting in black and white reveals hidden treasures, isn't it? In addition to the textures, the contrast of light and dark is super. Looks like a wonderful place for a walk.

I really like this Milanie. The shadows, light and textures work in b&w.

I'm with you Milanie. I never took B&W photos and am really enjoying looking for photos with contrast for this month. It is so different than colour. Great photo.
