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.
Wow, that sounds like and explosion of color!, it works really well as a black and white.
These are lovely. It’s a real challenge to capture a starfish in b&w and you have. Well done!
Thanks for letting me know you like it! 🙂
🙂

Thanks Sonel I had to think about this one for a few days! 🙂
LOL! You’re not the only one. 😀
Great lines and textures in the driftwood, nicely abstract. The starfish is like something out of a dark Sci-fi film!
Thanks Sue! The starfish does look kind of creepy. 🙂 My guys love old sci-fi films – I should have made the connection!
