Sonel’s newest theme for her Black and White Challenge series is the word “Abstract”.
I really like how these simple shades of black and white accentuate the abstract, natural shapes in this sea star and driftwood stump in the San Juan Islands.

That star fish is creepy in black and white… I love the driftwood contrasts, there is such a flow to the angles and shapes.

Thank you. 🙂 Both of them were ok (nothing great) in color but the details are so much clearer in b&w!

I really like the sea star.

Thanks! It is purple on bright green seaweed but the details are lost with such intense colors. I’m happy I gave it a second chance.

Great lines and textures in the driftwood, nicely abstract. The starfish is like something out of a dark Sci-fi film!
