Follow the lines

The line of a coastal defence wall and associated steps provide a perfect vanishing-point composition. Such a contrived viewpoint complements the black-and-white treatment as both take the viewer one step farther from the reality of the scene and help to emphasize its inherent geometry. Compositions with strong lines—whether verticals, diagonals, horizontals, or a mix—often make powerful black-and-white images.

Form first

Flowers are justifiably notable for their subtle color ranges and not often considered candidates for black and white, yet when portrayed as such without color to distract us, we can appreciate them all the more for their delicate and repeating forms, and subtlety of hue is successfully replaced by one of tone.
