| Monochrome: |
The term ‘monochromatic’ is often misused to mean black and white. In fact, it really describes a scene predominantly of a single color or shades of a color: for example, the many shades of green making up a tree-filled, grassy landscape or the amber color of an autumn field. B&W is not allowed for this competition.
Apart from the examples above, where the elements of the composition themselves determine the color of the scene, it’s often the quality of light and the prevailing weather conditions that work together to produce a monochrome effect.
Time of day also has a major influence on color perception. At sunrise or sunset, whole landscapes can be suffused with pinks and reds. Low-light conditions generally have the effect of merging colors into a single hue.
At dusk, bright colors always appear much more subdued. Storm conditions can also work favorably.
So, think a single color or shades of a single color for your final image.
