Hostas in the Rain
Excellent tonality and detail. Definitely an appropriate photograph for monochrome.
(The urban deer have eaten all our hostas, alas. The animals are cute—the little ones, especially—but voracious. And they love hostas. My wife discovered an entire extended family of nine of them (sic) taking it easy in our Maryland backyard last week, and no doubt startled the neighbors when she went out and screamed at them to leave. Should we send some of our critters up your way? Perhaps I could persuade our city council to round them up and put them on a ship to Nova Scotia. You have a lot more open space than we do.)
