Although the universe is ablaze with more colours than the human eye can detect, we can also learn to see the world in new ways by returning to the roots of the art of photography, to the art of black and white, and other monochromes like sepia (and bi-level). This photo blog celebrates that spectrum of colours ranging from the darkest monochromes to the most brilliant whites, and everything in between.

Great expression! Two ways the face might have been better separated from the background:
(1) shoot from lower angle, so all/part of face has sea/sky as background;
(2) shoot with lens wide open, so background is out of focus.
Great ideas, both, thanks! Since it's getting harder for me to get down (and then back up), I'll have to add the f2.8 setting more often to my shooting. I certainly could have, had I only been thinking, and can now identify a number of shots that this idea would have helped.
This was taken on the sly at a wedding with my new 100mm macro, which may become a favourite lens. It seems to be reasonably sharp. But now that you mention it, I see all the confusion detracting from her face, and particularly her illuminated hair. Thanks!
Hi Evan. I am intrigued by her expression, especially her lips and eyebrows. This combined with her outfit and earrings made me wonder why a beautiful woman was on the beach looking so perplexed (not the right word...).
