I know you've seen more than one of my shots of the Crypt and Antony Gormley's sculpture but I think that this fits several of the criteria for b&w shots put forward this week: contrast of textures, lines (curved as well as straight), form.... Is negative space always completely empty? (Or do I have some here?)
One benefit of participating in this b&w challenge is that I'm understanding more exactly why certain shots appeal to me personally.
I have seen this shot before, presented differently, and I still enjoy it. The lines, reflections and arches are so pleasing. The b&w helps emphasize those aspects nicely.
That's interesting! How wrong parents can be!
