I forgot how gorgeous looking a monochrome color tone can be. Most monochrome I ever run into are grayscale... and those I appreciate tremendously. But color monochrome hits differently than a grayscale does. There's an emotional undertone that can be encoded, which isn't as apparent in a grayscale. Imagine this piece as a red monochrome rather than blue... how would that feel to you?
