Mono Monday 157 - Minimal

Marlieske has set a thought provoking challenge today.  She has given some helpful tips which I badly needed. I love some of the examples and have tried to give my interpretation.  I placed a paperweight onto a piece of black card and found that the light from the window threw a shower of light onto the card.  I shot it in black and white and cropped most of the paperweight out.  I really enjoyed doing this today, thank you Marlieske.
The colour version (with the whole paperweight) is in extra.
