Black and White allows texture to come to the forefront. It’s amazing how well we can see the texture in an image once we change it to monochrome. To be really effective there must be enough contrast.
This picture of Lake Waterton in Alberta Canada was a pretty image. However, once I changed it to monochrome (I thought there was enough contrast.) I saw the texture in the mountains and water.
This is submitted for Sarah’s challenge which she created for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness. I hope that linking to each works.
Now off to more on my list! Thanks Sarah and Leanne!
That is a wonderful landscape Anne 🙂

I remember seeing a series of photos of the Himalayas taken in the 40s or so that my parents had – loose, large, non-glossy, rather sepia. They were breathtaking! You have caught that same element of grandeur here. Lovely work, Anne.

A fabulous photo in monochrome, Anne. The light within the hills looks like a mist!

Thanks Terri! This was taken in 2013 so I can’t remember whether it was mist or haze. Going back to the color version would tell me.
