For some reason whenever I thought about a B&W theme for the month this subject came to mind even though it cuts across many other B&W Challenge themes. Maybe the time of year here as well as the fact that I'd been looking through some old images and realising how many were of natural scenes.
A definition of natural is: "existing in or caused by nature; not made by humankind" So trees, flowers, animals, rocks, skies, oceans and lots of other things will work for this challenge - especially those that work well in Black and White as many "natural" subjects do.
I'll start off with some trees and rocks that I found in files and converted to B&W. Looking to seeing your natural images.

Anyway, this photo, Red Lionfish in Black & White, was taken a couple of years ago at Baltimore Aquarium. I cropped it, converted to b&w using Nik Silver Efex Pro, processed in Photoshop, ACR, Color Efex by Nik. It took a lot of cleaning up and needed noise reduction (I usually just use ACR for that unless there's a lot). I do like this and it just won an award this month, so I guess someone else did, too.
