As my husband and I were hiking in Telluride, I saw this wonderful old guy sanding this tree limb
Color photo did not do him justice...too many shades of green and driftwood. So... converted to BW, and tinted sage. Now, I think he stands out nicely.

Nice! I think the monotone works perfectly to help simplify the image. The dark edges help focus our attention, too. Well done, Lucy!

The monotone treatment works well here. Great bit of seeing.

This looks like some kind of nocturnal shot. The color suggests a flourescent light source. It does look very much like a man in a tree. The face and arm could not be any better.

Nicely toned to bring out the features. Good entry.

I like the title, very apropos Lucy. I also think your PP really made this ancient carpenter stand out nicely..
Well done!

I really like the monotone treatment for this old man. And sage seems to me to be the perfect tint. Love it.
