Since my photojo is being a bear, I am posting a monotone version of a shot that I took today but also posted as yesterday's shot. ( https://365project.org/joysabin/365 ). Probably cheating but it's Monday and creativity and I aren't really on speaking terms at the moment.
Interesting to compare the two. I think, in this case, I prefer the black and white. There is so much going on with the reeds, the water, the land/trees on the horizon, the sky, and the reflections that the colour is just one component too many.
@gardencat I have always had an affinity to B&W. I started in film there so old habits die hard. I agree with you a great deal, detail is better with the B&W.
@dfarrington I agree, I had my camera set to B&W but shot raw so I thought I should try both.
@onewing Thank you so very kindly for the fav and your patience with my tardy response.
@golftragic Thank you so much. I truly appreciate the project 'rule' reminder. Art is an open ended en devour, isn't it?
@pistache Thank you a great deal for the fav. Maybe color splash would work, hadn't thought of that.
@fbailey I agree, special spot in my heart for B&W, I have always felt that there is more emotion potential in monotone. Most grateful for the fav, too.
@haskar Thank you so very kindly for the fav and your patience with my slowness in responding.
@ninaganci Thank you so kindly. Creative mojo can be fleeting and deep, I just wish I could figure it out better :):)
@granagringa Very grateful, thank you. B&W is close to my heart.
@olivetreeann The bucking horse of creativity has its moments of calmness, its my patience that can be the real bugger. :):)
@jernst1779 Very appreciative for the fav. I've started watching/reading photo sites, (fstoppers, practical photography, petalpixel etc) and they've helped jump start things again.
