B&W Beginnings

B&W version of maple leaves. The veins really stand out without colour to distract.

This image was given an ‘Honourable mention’ (3rd place) in the Toowoomba Royal Show, 2008.

Works well as b/w! Excellent!
Kristy Lee, 10 months ago

ohh..and the detail works just as well here..this is somewhat more dramatic and hauntingly beautiful.
Antanas, 10 months ago

Perfect composition!

Thanks Torfinn, Kristy and Antanas!

I was a bit torn over the B&W or colour version, so went for both :)

I like the way the veins stand out here, some really interesting patterns when you get right up close!
