Lovely composition! I like this in B&W.

I really like this in b&w, Mary! Brings out the variety of texture and light.

OK, I see you are doing B & W's this month and that is great! I am your get-pushed-83 partner and my challenge for you is to show motion! You can even do it in B & W :) Have great fun with it!

@howesandraj @kareenking Thanks Sandra and Kareen. I had my trepidations, since the colors on the Chinese vase and shell are so pretty. but I do like the end result here in B&W.
