Week 286: Black and White
Our theme this week is Black and White, and we’d love to see what fantastic black and white nature photos you can take! The options for black and white nature images are plentiful. This week, look for light and shadow, and contrast in the scenes around you. What compositions would look great in black and white? You may choose to shoot in black and white originally, or to convert your images after. Perhaps you will photograph a dark and moody landscape, or try for a high key image of wildlife in your garden. Whether you’re a seasoned nature photographer, or are new to the genre, the options for awesome black and white shots are endless, and we can’t wait to see what inspiring images you can create.

Last week’s winner
Last week’s theme was Flowers – and our favourite image this week is:
This week’s winner is this image, captured by Flynn Thaitanunde-Lobb: Astrantia in bloom, glowing in the evening sun.
This is a wonderful portrait of a beautiful subject, well lit and carefully composed to balance the colours and patterns of the scene. We love the use of complimentary colours in this image, and the depth of field that allows us to focus on the subject. Well done, and thank you to all who entered!
