Mono Monday - Looking Down

As it was pouring with rain today it was obvious that my best chance of doing some photography was going to be in the enclosed Plant Room of Dunbar Garden `Centre. I had a quick look at the Mono Monday Challenge and wondered if I could tackle this by photographing plane from directly above.   It seemed a little odd at first to be thinking of such colourful blooms in monochrome fashion but I could see that some specimens would give nice tonal range especially this zebra pansy with its distinctive markings. I have also included an extra as I began to see the virtues of this approach.
