No, not really. It seems rather flat.

Thanks for your input Tainkc. I appreciate it. I prefer the color version myself.

This image is interesting, but the color version I feel is the best.

Thanks for your input Robert.
BTW, I posted a modified version of '' The night heron... my best bird shot'' following your suggestion to reposition the heron.
It's in the original post if you care to look.

Composition is very nice. Do you mind if I play with it a little bit? (I always ask first!).

Looked that is closer to what "I" would have liked. Original very good also. I just have a preference for lower right framing on shots like that.

Thanks for your positive Preachy.
By all means please do, I'm sure it can be improved as this is my first endeavor into B&W

I think black and white suits it very well.

It's not a lot different, but I tried to add some depth and reduce the blown out whites in the center of the image.

Thanks Preachy I like your version. You did a good job of reducing the blown out whites. I tried but it was the best I could do.
