thanks for looking! this was an impromptu submission that i didn't really expect to do well. i was shooting some b&w water textures and when i was reviewing my images this one just caught my eye. it looked to me like a monkey with a helmet on, and the stick was almost like a club being held over his head...i decided just to submit with no post-processing.
the next day my computer crashed and i lost everything! luckily i had been backing up files to cd...
peace
Whew...this shot made me tired...I looked for the monkey, and I think I may have it, but I'm not sure. I'll check back once the challenge is over to see what you have to say about it.
I am obviously missing something because I see a leaf. There are some great values at the dark end of the scale, but I don't see a focal point. The composition is chaotic.
I struggle with abstracts in black and white. I dislike when I can't make out what I'm looking at...arrggh! I won't knock you for it though. I do like the overall look and it does keep my attention.
crazy -- can't really make out much. Good effort and it looks like it took a lot of time. Unfortunately, doesn't seem like much of a 'photograph' even if it is -- looks more like a drawing or painting.
