Lens-Artists Challenge: Colour in Monochrome
It’s all there in black and white.
This week’s challenge is to present in a monochrome image something that we absolutely know is actually a specific colour. As Egidio says in his post, reducing an image to grayscale emphasises form and texture which could well be overlooked in ‘natural’ colour.
My example is of a Romanesco, that intriguing cross between a cauiflower and broccoli. We all know it’s bright green in the ‘real’ world, but how much of the symmetry and detail of those characteristic swirls is missed when just seeing that vibrant shade?

Wow! One example does it all. Great response to the challenge.
Great example but I must admit I’ve never seen them piled up like that!! Is that what they look like in nature???
This is actually a close-up of part of the complete vegetable (a cross between broccoli and cauliflower). They’re sort of pyramid shaped and it would be quite an exercise to stack them for a display.
Very cool photo 🙂
I was completely unprepared for this image, a vegetable I’d never heard of. The image is stunning!
