sunday stills; black & white with a twist
This weeks Sunday Stills challenge was black & white with a twist, here’s my take on it.
Reflection;
This is as “macro” as I get without a macro lens;
see the sunday stills B&W challenge talent here!
I’m fast becoming a fan of Sunday Stills & fellow contributors, it’s opening up my eyes to new ideas & every week I have something (photography) to work towards.
Very novel reflection :) loving the clock hand, gives the eye a lot to study. Why does your thumb look so big? :P

Interesting!
Something about the clock picture makes me feel creepy, but that’s because b&w always gives me sort of a “minor key” feeling.
I think your “macro as you get” is pretty neat. I can almost see the purple through the b&w!

Wow, you did great. Very original idea and you did a real good job with the conversion. Nice and contrasty. Love the hint of colour you still left in the flower.

I like the clock with its many contrasts, makes me think of Escher’s works. It seems your getting behind time with your filming :-)

I like how the detail, such as the black flecks on the clock face, were picked up so vividly in black and white.

I like the reflection using the clock. The macro is very nice too, almost has color to it.

I love the clock face, Chloe; it is almost metaphorical, isn’t it? Emotion is evident in both these photos.

Is there a hint of purple in the picture of the flower? Great picture, really deep tones. Good luck with the challenge :)

I love the dark feel in the second one. I thought Sunday Stills challenges were posted and completed opn the same day, so I had it all wrong. I’m already thinking of what to do for this week.
I love square format shooting. It gives you such strong geometry to work with or against. Not lining things up with the center or rule of thirds is a lot more powerful in square in my opinion.

I wish you lived in South Africa, then I could buy prints of these. *grins* Your art would also classify as the first art I’ve ever actually bought (because my money generally goes to computers and books ;)).
The top one is gorgeous.
