Photography - Black & White World

Did anyone (else) ever say, "I thought this was a colour world photographed in black and white, then I realised it's a black and white world photographed in colour"? No? Must've been me, then.

Anyway, I've been experimenting with producing pictures which look as though they were taken as, or modified to be, sepia-toned, but which show the actual local colour. So here I've taken a close-up of some old pampas grass stems, and this is their real colour.

This picture also reminds me of carvings by Grinling Gibbons - those panels you get in dining rooms with a couple of dead ducks and some veg hanging up.
