Last week for Black & White Sunday I converted a landscape shot to monochrome to get rid of the pink colour, and today I am showing a monochrome image where I purposely retained some colour. This method is called selective colouring. The theme of today’s photo challenge is WINDOWS. Show me some windows, old or new, selectively coloured or entirely monochrome it is up to you. Wishing you all a good Sunday and a great week ahead!
Paula Borkovic
What you need to do to join Black & White Sunday photo challenge:
make a photo post on today’s theme before next Sunday
link it to this challenge post and tag it #blackandwhitesunday
leave a comment under this post.
Have a look at these cool entries to the challenge:
Oh, a perfect one for selective colouring. And the almost symmetry is appealing – made me look closely and for a long time (while listening to the cheerful music). Happy Sunday to you too Paula
A lovely sonata of shapes: ovals, rectangles, diamonds, squares, quadrilaterals, and then the rough circles of leaves and flowers. And that’s not to mention the perfect selective colouring and the rough texture of the bricks. So much to love.
It’s hard to match your very unusual windows, Paula – so eye-catching, too, with the red geranium. Here are some Wenlock windows: https://tishfarrell.com/2017/06/04/through-a-window-darkly-looking-with-henry-james-eyes/ Wishing you a good week ahead. I’m just off to the allotment in the evening sunshine – transplanting golden marjoram, apple mint and oregano. They smell blissful 🙂
Hoping you are having a peaceful Sunday. I often find myself feeling a bit “green” as I view your images…the architecture and landscape that you share are so beautiful and message the passing of time as well as invite imagination of the past.
Love the shape of your windows too, and selective colouring! My try here, in fact one of my own favourite windows – because of the cat of course…Hope there is not too little B&W in it! http://wp.me/p1hCI2-8js
Selective colouring is one of those techniques I keep saying to myself I must learn and never do. Today after seeing your wonderful post, I have made a note in the diary to teach myself the basics this week!
