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?
