Cloud patterns - Monochrome
As monochrome landscapes seem popular on here at the moment I thought I'd see what you folks think of this one :smile:

The sky (with little accompanying 'landscape') may seem an unlikely subject for monochrome but I'm quite pleased with the tonal range of this conversion, which has retained much of the visual appeal of the original colour version (but hey, what do I know :confused: )

I should add that much of the fine detail of the silhouetted leaves on the trees along the bottom of the image has been lost in compression. They're pin sharp on the full sized version, but you'll just have to take my word for that :wink:

All comments and critique welcome - thanks for looking :smile:

I like it. My eyes were taken to the top left of the picture and then drawn down to the bottom right. It really works well. :jump:

I really like this. The sky looks like a quilt. Agree B & W works well in this image. :jump:

Wow! Very nice shot and BW conversion. The trees lead to the sky and round and round.
