«Monochrome Madness!!» is the brainchild of Laura Macky and Leanne Cole – two fantastic photographers and bloggers. The above photo is my entry for their challenge and it was shot in Jerusalem during the holidays Pesach/Easter 2014.

Cardinal Guzman 
wonderful!
Fantastic Cardinal.
Meaningful shot, really!
Great shot
Reblogged this on Oyia Brown.
Thanks for the reblog!
Thanks for your comments shabnamphoto, Leanne Cole, 76sanfermo and Al 🙂
I agree with Anna (76sanfermo). That man means business 😀
Love the expression captured!
You captured his expression and movement! Great photo, CG!
Thank you very much for the nice comment Amy.
Very cool!
Nice, I have to admit I would not have thought to make this shot monochrome because of all the details, but it works well.
I think that’s why it works well. Black and white removes all the disturbances in the background. I’ll try to re-process this one, because when I did the post-processing it was on a small laptop. Now I’m back on my good, old stationary.
Yes, that can make a huge difference sometimes, the screen you are working with.
I’m wondering what those hoodies and shirts in the background are saying.
Two of them says Palestine, but I don’t know what the one on the bottom left says.
Really like this shot. The guy looks very interesting, and the cart and background tell a great story. I assume you were in a market of sorts?
It’s in the Old City of Jerusalem.

Og, – konverteringa til b&w er som alltid perfekt!
Awesome but my mind is spinning with this shot.
Cardinal, how do I find your Monochrome Madness image for every week? I clicked on Leanne’s link but then it lands me on your main blog and then I clicked this Monochrome Madness link but I still can’t find it 😦 I love it by the way. 🙂
It’s because when I send photos to Leanne, I usually let her publish them first, so that they’re exclusive for the Monochrome madness challenge. Then I publish them in my blog a short while after her post.
Thank you for explaining again…I was having a brain fade evidently!
I have brain fades all the time. It’s nothing to worry about.
lol
You don’t seem to have a like button. I like this photo. The old man, the spare tyre on the cart, both great in b&w.
Thanks. I thought it was best to turn this black & white in order to turn the focus away from all the visual clutter in the background.
I don’t have a like button, because I prefer interacting with my visitors in words. Also: people often clicked the like button without even reading the post (I noticed this on several on my written posts). So I just removed it to avoid the “click like and move on” type of people.
Very nice.
