Banksia in B&W


 The detail in the banksia seems sharper in B&W for some reason. I guess the colour distracts the eye?  A little googling found this article - the eye tends to ignore black backgrounds and focus on other things. Without colour, the eye focuses on contrast. 


These photos are in colour here.

    I’ve never seen such a plant, then again I’ve never been to Australia either. Thanks for visiting my blog, and happy WIB&W.

    Never heard of that. Always so interesting to find a new plant that exists. Interesting too about B&W photos.
