Love this! The swirls are like eyeballs making me want to move in closer to for a better view. What lies behind? Is this a gate to a private garden; a hallowed gravesite? Or perhaps a wrought iron fence acting as a barrier of beauty. The textured layers of Monochrome Madness are exquisitely haunting. Well done!
Thanks, Debby! As for what lies behind, I love the stories you have painted with your descriptions, so I won’t divulge, as imagination is oftentimes much better than reality 😉
Thanks, Andrew! I found my number of decision points in converting this photo were far less numerous than with last week’s photo, with much more pleasing results 🙂 I think most of that has to do with a better composed photo to begin with!
Rich texture and lovely B&W Stacy, congrats again! (I’d like to see this photo in A&B section)

Thanks, Karen! My eye is naturally drawn to wrought iron. Throw in the brick and the ivy, and I’m on board 🙂
