These things always me think of ostriches.
I used to work in a bonsai nursery in Israel, it went bust and we had to repot all the plants into normal sized tree pots so they’d grow normally, I remember feeling both sad and happy for them.

No, I don't know him, but I'll certainly have a look at his site. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll bear that in mind, but I hope I don't have to.

Great idea to challenge yourself with minimal, never easy but the best way to improve.

Like two alien ships, nicely composed and balanced shot.

Like flowers moving with the sun, glorious in their brightness. Very striking.

i totally agree about it being challenging using minimal black and white ...
i dont know how much you can adjust things in the picture style in camera ..
for the 'c __ is for' challenge ... i took a photo of an insect and changed the picture style in camera .. i will have to look to see if i can make more dramatic changes .. as that is something i was interested in ..
check out this image of insteps .. minimal editing rules ..
it may also depend on your camera .. as to what you can do ..

Love the contrast and the opposing elements. Very well done.

Thanks GeneralE. I think I'll have to print that when I'm at my computer. The built in white balance settings weren't much help with the test shots I tried but I haven't had time to try custom settings yet.
