I enjoyed Larry L's @lsquared Black and White Group f/64 challenge so much that I am continuing to emulate some of their photos.
I have got to admit that I am BEGINNING (just beginning) to enjoy black and white,
Edward Weston was one of the original seven artists in this group, along with Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham. His Pepper #30 was his most famous work.
This is not it - took this shot and then discovered it is not at all like it.
Besides - the focus is not good with this shot.
But, it does fill a hole in my album.
I did some of the Edward Weston style photos a while back in response to a get-pushed challenge. I enjoyed the challenge more than I expected to.
I like how you are willing to post some of your less successful images. I made a not-365-masterpieces tag for my photos that fit that category.

Thank you, Tim, for your comment.
While I am not pleased with this shot, it is an example of experimentation and learning ... trial and error.
Very few people are born photographers. We all need to learn the craft. I am not happy just taking pictures. I want to take photos that are on the artistic side or evoke emotion.
This photo shows my growth.
I like your idea of not-365-masterpiece tag. Think I will start one!

Edward Weston did a lot of nudes. He favoured taking shots of subjects that had a lot of curves - very sensual. Which was controversial in the 1920s and 30s.
I'm going to re-visit this shot over the weekend to see if I can do better.
