Buttons and Cuff Links

I pulled out some of the bits and bobs that belonged to my grandfather today for my macro shot. Once again, black and white brings out some great textures and shapes from these little trinkets. I thought this faded effect gave it the nostalgic feeling these deserve.

Nice presentation of nostalgia

I thought the white buttons were a bunch of bananas - probably I am going bananas, haha. Great macro in b&w.

Great processing treatment. And there's that interesting black line over the photo again.

[Bev]

Nice shot, Ann. B&W really does bring out the detail in items. Cool processing on this.

[Sally Ings]

Such cool processing!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@aikimomm Thanks Phoebe! The "interesting black line" is a frame that puts a white vignette around the edge of the photo and then edges the border with a thin black line.
@prttblues Thanks Bev!
@salza Thanks Sally!
