The aim was to create something moody.

I think I created something melodramatic.

This was taken in Waverton Park. I came out here after finishing my recent walk around Balls Head Reserve, saw the ball and thought it would make for a good subject.

This being in monochrome does enhance the mood of the photo, I think. It’s not longer just a ball in a field, but an emotive ball.

The photo being in monochrome makes details, and light and shade more apparent. It also means that it’s easier to keep focus on the scene at large.

Well, that’s what I think.

I hope you enjoy.
