Monochrome – Juridicious

Barcelona – Black and White

I have been away on vacation in the US for two weeks during which period I have over 600 pictures to process and sift through. It will be some time before those pictures make it to this blog. Therefore, here are some pictures from my trip to Barcelona 3 weeks ago.

IMG_1073-Edit — Detail on a wall opposite Barcelona cathedral

IMG_1075-Edit — A window in the Gothic quarter of Barcelona.

Photographs using an iPhone 4S, post-processed in Lightroom and NIK Color Efex Pro.

Yellow-on-monochrome

Nothing probably gives a better contrast and highlights a picture, like something yellow on black on monochrome background. To test this hypothesis, I put forward this picture of a yellow flower against a desaturated background.

Really interested in your thoughts!
