Timeless Elegance: A Monochromatic Portrait of the Sunbird
Witness the timeless elegance and intricate details that transcend the boundaries of color.
With the absence of hues, the focus shifts to the sunbird's form, highlighting the delicate curves of its body and the graceful extension of its wings. Every line and contour becomes more pronounced, revealing the true essence of this magnificent creature. In this monochromatic realm, the sunbird's beauty takes on a new dimension, captivating our senses with its understated allure.
The contrast between light and shadow adds depth and drama to the composition, accentuating the intricate patterns of the sunbird's feathers. Each tiny barb and filament becomes a work of art, delicately etched by nature's hand. The monochrome palette amplifies the textures, transforming them into a tactile feast for the eyes.
As we immerse ourselves in this black and white Photograph, we are reminded of the power of simplicity. Stripped of vibrant colors, the sunbird's allure lies in its pure essence, showcasing the harmonious balance between light and darkness. In this stark monochrome realm, we discover the inherent beauty that transcends the limitations of perception.
Join me in this exploration of the sunbird's monochromatic world, where simplicity reigns supreme. The subtleties and nuances that define this enchanting creature. Marvel at the timeless elegance of the sunbird, as it stands as a testament to the enduring beauty found within the realm of black and white.
Through this photograph, I invite you to embrace the artistry of monochrome and celebrate the intricate details that often go unnoticed. Allow yourself to be captivated by the sunbird's subtle grace and be inspired by the timeless allure that can be found even in the absence of color.

The fieldfare (Turdus pilaris) is a member of the thrush family Turdidae. It breeds in woodland and scrub in northern Europe and across the Palearctic. It is strongly migratory, with many northern birds moving south during the winter. It is a very rare breeder in the British Isles, but winters in large numbers in the United Kingdom, Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
A fé não precisa de templos grandiosos para existir.
Nesta cena, capturada em Garanhuns – Pernambuco, a simplicidade revela sua força. Entre tijolos, imagens sacras e o céu aberto, o sagrado se manifesta em sua forma mais pura e atemporal.
A escolha pelo preto e branco reforça o caráter contemplativo e simbólico, destacando texturas, contrastes e a atmosfera de devoção silenciosa.

Part of my 'Duffus Castle through the seasons' project.
The castle is situated on the Laich of Moray, a fertile plain that was once the swampy foreshore of Spynie Loch. This was originally a more defensive position than it appears today, long after the loch was drained.
The motte is a huge man-made mound, with steep sides and a wide ditch separating it from the bailey. The whole site is enclosed by a water-filled ditch, which is more a mark of its boundary than it is a serious defensive measure.
Duffus Castle was built by a Flemish man named Freskin, who came to Scotland in the first half of the 1100s. After an uprising by the ‘men of Moray’ against David I in 1130, the king sent Freskin north as a representative of royal authority.
He was given the estate of Duffus, and here he built an earthwork-and-timber castle. Freskin’s son William adopted the title of ‘de Moravia’ – of Moray. By 1200, the family had become the most influential noble family in northern Scotland, giving rise to the earls of Sutherland and Clan Murray.
In about 1270, the castle passed to Sir Reginald Cheyne the Elder, Lord of Inverugie. He probably built the square stone keep on top of the motte, and the curtain wall encircling the bailey. In 1305, the invading King Edward I of England gave him a grant of 200 oaks from the royal forests of Darnaway and Longmorn, which were probably used for the castle’s floors and roofs.

[Repost] - First black & white image had a noise issue. The original was a raw macro image of a deep pink rose observed while walking the beach concrete walkway/bikeway at Mission Beach, San Diego, CA back in May 2017. Converted to monochrome using a filter found in @carbonblackandwhitestudio, then reduced noise using Snapseed. I made a promise to come clean on how this image was produced.
