This started out as a simple shot of a much treasured antique chest. It showed the texture and warm colors of the wood. But somehow I ended up with this black and white. I'm not sure why. My increasing love of b&w maybe. I think my taste in art has been changing - broadening. And as I am still trying to figure out what type of photography I love to do the most, I guess that's a good thing.
Great textures. I say keep an open mind. I am doing the NF SOOC challange with my camera set on raw and creative mode in B&W. That way I can get to see both color and mono tone and then choose.
