Hi Wayne, I am a weekly contributor to a black and white photography website on WP called Monochromia. A group of photographers who post monochrome images. A made up name not a technical term. Thanks for asking.

A lovely photo of what is now, after the devastation of the bushfires, becoming an endangered species. The world would be a sadder place without him
