Breaking the tension

It is strange how the most unexpected shots sometimes lend themselves to black and white. At least I think this one does. Of all the shots I took, including the bright yellow flowering lilies, I preferred the simple single leaf.

Lovely shot Helen. I really like the simplicity.

[Waterfall & Angel]

I agree... Simple but hugely effective. You can almost feel it straining silently to stay effortlesly afloat!

i can still feel a hint of green nice image and title

[Ethel]

I like minimalism. This works very well.

[Gayle]

[Shy Abel]

Beautiful photo :) love the use of light in it

[Kahsia]

The minimalist quality really lends itself to B&W. Fav!

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely b&w and capture of the droplets and surface tension fav!

[Caroline]

Superb shot, what a great visual Helen! I love this. Like Kali I feel the hints of green somehow... Just beautiful!

[Alan D Stringer]

As said above, so simple is brilliant, great use of light, just stunning

[Ann Williams]

Wonderful Helen and a fav.

I agree, this works very well. It even sums up the weather.

[Babs]

I love it too and I agree it looks super in monochrome.

@jeetee @helenacharles @kali66 @ethelperry @gaylewood @adayinmallacoota @evalieutionspics @shylaine3304 @moonmtn @ziggy77 @kerosene @chipsngravy @flowerfairyann @paulmann @onewing @daisyditch You all said some very nice things about my single leaf. I am glad I chose this one for the day. For those seeing the green - when I take the colour out of a photo, I rarely do it completely but slide the scale until I feel that I am happy with the effect. So there probably is some green in there!

i do that sometimes too, grey can be too cold
