Description

Greyscale images focus solely on luminance without the distraction of color. This can enhance the contrast and make subtle details more apparent. The human eye is more sensitive to variations in brightness than to color (you have many more rods than cones in you retina), so eliminating color can sharpen the perception of detail. Hopefully this image is an example of that effect. Enjoy.
