Nicely done

[Rob Z]

This is lovely. The b&w really highlights their structures - so beautifully accentuated by the shadows. I wonder if this is the type of thing that SergeantPepper was looking for in his technique challenge - it did sound interesting but a little tricky to interpret how to attack it. Is b&w classified as monochromatic? https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/32918/technique-92-shadows-to-black-black-and-white
Sorry for the blurb - this was just so interesting. :)

Wow, I'd never have considered using b&w for a shot like this, but it works a treat!
