(Mainly) Black and White

Black and white photography is an area of increasing interest for me (and, I suspect, many other photographers). In this portfolio, some images are shown with the colour version (or something close to it) for comparison. The contrasts can be quite striking, with each form having its own strengths. As expected, the absence of colour underlines bleakness in some scenes, textures in others. I like the way one can push editing much further in b/w without the image looking excessively doctored.

Anyway, please see what you think, and feel free to offer a comment.
