Gallery: seeing Madagascar in black and white

And yet, I can never resist the temptation to experiment with black and white edits, and I think I’ve found enough photos among all those I took there that might work. Here they are; see what you think. There’s an emphasis on landscape and architecture but there are a few iconic wildlife species too.

Sharing for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness, as usual. And also as usual, all were shot originally in colour and edited with Nik Silver Efex Pro.

My feature photo is of a local fisherman on the lake in front of the Iharana Bush Camp where we stayed near the tsingy plateau.
