In this case, rather than photoshop a colour image to Black and White, I decided to use the in camera black and white filter to photograph the side of this barn building with this bric-a-brac.

Monochrome Weekly: The Clergy House, Alfriston

I took this image in 1994, when I was experimenting with Black and White 35mm film in my fixed focus Vivitar camera.

This is The Clergy House in Alfriston East Sussex where I used to live up until 2003.

I am not sure whether you would class this as a monochrome photograph, its known as "Colour Accent" on my old camera ( I have a new one now) it appears to be inheritantly black and white but pics up hints of colour with it -in this case red.
