Mar08 comp “Using black and white” Closed
      #619363 - 29/02/2008 23:45

This months theme is " Using black and white "

What is special about monochrome?

Shoot anything you like in black and white, but pay attention to what makes monochromatic pictures special and use those characteristics to your advantage.

This is a panoramic and I waited for that boat to be in each photo. Obviously required a little more PP than I like!
