Great shot, Pierre! Very dramatic, and the b/w really brings that drama out! Excellent work.
Thanks Randy. I'm quite sattisfied with the color version (attached) but converting to B&W is part of my resolution to dally with monochrome more often.
Thank you all for commenting. Lucas is not my dog but the buddy of one of my good friends. I have no idea about his breed, but believe he is a Heinz -- several varieties. Although he is a tiny little guy, he is a wonderful companion, a huge asset in any household.
A diiferent look, in B&W, at this young Osprey showing off his new skills. I thought the monochrome approach gives more intensity to his efforts. He'll be flying South for the Winter in a little while.
