18/365 Working in Black and White

This is what my deck and back yard look like in the daytime. I understand when working in black and white, you have to think differently. You have to look at your subject in terms of its textures and form rather than color. I have been playing around with taking pictures in black and white just to see the contrast.

I think the deck railing is a strong contrast to the snow and the pine trees. The railing seems to "pop".
