Nice, thanks for pointing me to this contest via the #creativecoin discord!
I usually never process any of my photos as b/w... I have some weird issue with dialing in the "colors" there without feeling like the image has lost something. I know that's a stupid thing to say because I'm usually all for reduction in order to make more room for meaning and b/w is just great for that...
Well, anyways... there's this one image I took quite a while ago where I did give it a try, taking color out and focusing all on the texture of the subject.
Let me know how you like it:
I have posted it on steem last year already, so it's kinda dated, but I figured I might as well put it in here again?! Hope that's fine.
Concerning the tier... I'm definitely not a Pro, but I'm certainly not a beginner either... Amateur fits well I guess.
