Brick Road by Rafael Lorenzo de Leon
From a bird’s-eye view, a woman meanders down a winding brick road, her presence a subtle contrast against the monochrome landscape. The path, framed by dense foliage, weaves through the scene, its intricate curves outlined sharply in black and white. The surrounding plants, though devoid of color, offer texture and depth, their forms creating a natural border around the path. Each step she takes is a journey through a timeless, serene landscape, where the simplicity of the monochrome world highlights the elegant dance between human and nature.
Lonely Yellow Cabin by Suraj Krishnamurthy Cheemangala
This image was captured during our December 2020 trip to Lofoten. Despite it not being the ideal time to visit due to the frequent rain and strong winds, I managed to take this shot on my phone as I couldn’t use my DSLR. The yellow cabin contrasted beautifully against the moody blue skies and dark Norwegian landscape, standing out boldly in front of a silhouetted mountain. The weather was challenging, but it added a dramatic touch to the scene. The serene yet rugged atmosphere of Lofoten in winter made the experience unforgettable. Every element in the frame came together to highlight the raw beauty of Norway.
Lego by Klara Marciniak
My three-year-old daughter and I were playing lego when I noticed what an interesting light and shadow game was developing on the step floor. The sun lit up the living room and the "light" game turned into quite a dramatic scene. This became especially apparent when I converted the image to black and white.
