In my monochrome photographs, I strive to capture the essence of icy water tumbling over rocks during winter. There’s a certain vibrancy in the flow of the partially frozen water that contrasts beautifully with the serene stillness of the surrounding landscape. This juxtaposition between the rushing water and the frigid scene creates a captivating portrayal of nature’s elegance in the chilly air, allowing me to highlight the delicate features of both the water and its environment.

Fine series; looks good in B&W.
Thank you Harrie, these were not good in color, I got something wrong in my settings, but they turned out ok in B/W
Maybe whitabalance..
You most certainly captured the rushing water against rocks and ice in the winter. Beautiful images!
Beautiful Ritva! Love how monochrome transforms an image! So inspiring, I often forget about water in black and white! These are great.
Gorgeous! I especially like the winter scenes, Ritva.
Nice series. I miss ice in winters.
So you miss cold weather? Thanks 😀
Great rushing water shots in black and white Ritva.
I can feel the cold from here xx
it was cold Jo, you felt it correctly.
These are very good conversions Ritva. The cold water is just the thing for my 36C days. I do find the snow and ice so foreign and at the same time exhilaratingly fresh. I like the water cascading under the sheet of ice
Good, these were SO bad originally, just white and blue… so happy I was able to edit them in B&W.
That’s where quite a number of my Monochrome Madness or Wordless Wednesday photos originate, as duds. It’s also fun to convert them to B&W
