Wow.. the first just slipped right past me... and I've even known what I was going to do for the assignment for a week or two....
Your August assignment: Monochromatic
Please note that this does not necessarily mean B&W images, although they would surely fit... but a real challenge would be to post color images that fit the theme.... stretch those imaginations and let's shoot!

Ok - - definition as I see it - - a color scheme that uses one color and all of the tones, tints, and shades that can be derived from it.
So let me know how these few photos are and I can do more....... | | | |

Susan,
I like all the images you've posted, and having seen many other examples of your work, I think your insecurites are unfounded :)

Cindy's right, Susan.. these are nice... even the Elephant's Behind. :)
I do like the cityscape especially for this exercise... its astounding how monochromatic the big city can be.. but still have such beautiful lines and curves.

Ok, so this is a few months old but today is my third attempt at the conversion/post processing on it. I keep coming back to it and I'm still not satisfied, let me know if I should just scrap it, maybe the subject/composition is the problem. I tried going back for a reshoot but the water level had changed and there were weeds all over it.
