I like the way the b&w conversion has turned the golden cross into silver. The natural light coming through the window creates the shadows of the flowers on the window sill.
It was good to post a b&w with selective red colouring yesterday because this stream of b&w images seems a bit depressing to me, adding in the grey weather outside nearly every day.
I'm thinking of posting a few more s/c images. Now what to do - quit the challenge? Or carry on tagging 'flashofred'? Suggestions please.
This looks lovely in b&w. Do you have to do a whole month of b&w for this challenge? Maybe in the UK a monochrome challenge would be best in summer when it is less likely to affect you. I could imagine that grey days and mono photos would get you down a bit.
Lovely capture with the light on the cross . I am not a lover of B/W and
prefer colours most of the time but some captures can look great in B /W and I think selective colouring is always great. The sun is out here today at last after a week of grey weather hope it is shining for you to Hazel..
I'm struggling too with B&W when it is so grey these days, but this is beautiful, I love the way the cross is so sharp. A poignant shot that is not in the least dull
I agree with Babs it's unfortunate weather here for a B&W challenge. I would be tempted to carry on Hazel but add a flash of colour it will cheer us all up!!
Hi Hazel! Going to give this another try! Been following your pictures because I love your local shots which remind me of another life!! This is so English and the b/w gives it that coldness so many churches have this time of year!
Hello Cherrill - how nice to get a comment from you. I'll take up my follow with you again. Some time I might also take you up on posting me a shot of the church where my maternal grandparents got married! I presume you haven't moved?!!
I would still tag, a little flash of colour would suit nicely :0)

Wendy it's supposed to be shining but hasn't come out yet! Thanks for your comments.
I think you've given me encouragement to carry on!
