The fleeting beauty.
A vibrant yellow butterfly resting its wings. I deliberately stripped away the color. What remains is the intricate and robust beauty of its wings, reminiscent of Japanese paper. The butterfly, having rested its wings for a moment, fluttered away lightly.

A photo of a butterfly resting its wings. According to the caption, it appears to be a vibrant yellow butterfly, but in monochrome, the focus shifts to the structure of its body. The grand wings, which occupy much of its small body, captivate with their strength and delicacy.

A photo of a grand torii gate in the sea. While one can imagine the blue of the sea, the white of the waves, the vermilion of the torii, and the black of the rocks, the monochrome leaves all possibilities open. The contrast between the sharply captured torii and the softly captured flow of the waves adds clarity and makes the photo more captivating.

A photo of a grand motorcycle. By making it monochrome, the metallic parts are emphasized, enhancing the coolness of the photo. The fact that the metallic elements come alive through monochrome was very fresh and appealing to me.
