Pend Oreille in black and white

Chosen as Pick of the Month! Chosen from among all photos submitted in July by a three-judge panel, "Pend Oreille in black and white" was praised by one judge for its striking composition. Said a second: "It draws me in to a calm and reflective state of mind. The contrasts are vivid and rich, creating a sense of movement."

Sometimes the absence of color can make us notice a photo's texture and contrast in ways we might otherwise have missed. The photographer wrote of this picture: "This photo was taken at the City Beach. It was a warm summer evening and everyone was out of the water. The big clouds made for a nice photo." This picture was taken June 28.
