The Brenda Photo Challenge - Black and White





When I read The Brenda Photo Challenge for this month (see link on my side bar) was Black and White I couldn't wait to get started on it, I absolutely love working in Black and White and think that my whole portfolio could quite easily be if I wasn't careful!

For this challenge I decided to take a fresh picture especially for it and I am really pleased with how it turned out and was again inspired by Horst P Horst with the lighting and subject matter. The second picture of the hands is one of my favourites from my archives and was the first picture that sprang into my mind when I first read about the challenge so had to include it.

I hope you like them and look forward to hearing your comments...
