This is my entry to the #monomad contest by @monochromes.
Being honest, I didn't used to use black and white, because I lack talent and study in photography and even more in editing. People often see black and white and think that it's just a filter, that the application does the job, that it's just a click. I know that is not the case, there are many ways to take a black and white, that make it change. Contrast, brightness, highlights, shadows and many more that I don't even know. Black and white for me is something to be treated with delicacy. Besides I used to think that street photography and some portraits were what looked good in black and white, but seeing some photographs of this community, I realize that no, there are more, and that someday I will have to learn, so even if they are bad now, in the future they will improve. And I got into the hobby of turning everything black and white, to see how it looks. The victim in this case was a plant that I like a lot in my garden. I hope you like them.
Note: Photos of my property edited in snapseed.
