I was round at a friend's house last week and they asked me if I would like to contribute some 'arty mono' images to a collage that they were making up of their house and garden. They live in a beautiful house so this should have been easy, but one of my struggles is that I really love to see artistic shots of architectural detail, but whenever I try it, it just looks a bit rubbish. But anyway, I came up with a few images and tried to process them a bit differently. These were my favourite four. All converted in Nik Silver Efex. Grateful for any thoughts and comments.
