Hi Frank
Good for you for trying the B/W. I'm not so brave. Beautiful horse and capture. Love the blue eye, though sometimes in the "Registered" horse breed specifications it's considered a fault. If you're like me though the "mutts" are just as pretty or better. Have a great evening my friend. #7412640

ROLAN NARMAN 4/16/2009 8:57:53 PM

You've done an excellent job on this one Frank! Outstanding shot myfriend! #7412697

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer 4/17/2009 3:23:57 AM

This works really really well in B&W, Frank. And I love the gentle and soulful look in that gorgeous blue eye!!! I also love the tighter crop of this one. In my book this is a sure winner!!! #7413195

Carolyn J. Connolly 4/17/2009 4:36:03 AM

Frank, this is fantastic!! I absolutely LOVE the desaturation of this image...except for some selective blue left in the eye...and the new crop is outstanding!! :o)

I really think you're onto a winner here...and I'm already looking forward to seeing more of your monochromatic series, too!! :o)

Phil and I wish you and Annie a really wonderful weekend when it comes to you - it is already just after 9:30 on Friday evening here for us where we are (on the east coast) Downunder!! :o) #7413525

Susan Weisensel 4/19/2009 3:25:37 PM

Oh Frank I can't wait to see more B&W's and hope they are as wonderful as this one. Very well captured and I do love the hint of blue. #7420610

frank w. degenhardt 4/19/2009 9:38:30 PM

Good day to all of you. Thank you so kindly for all the wonderful comments and the support. Its been so much fun growing and learning. The new camera has given me the versatility I needed to improve. So much to learn yet, but by studying the works of artist like you, I learn so much.

Description

I have always been a big fan of black and white but have not really done much of it myself. I am going to do a series of black and whites, some old pictures I have entered and redo, some new.
In this one I did leave a hint of blue in the horses eye as it was so unique to see this type and color of eye on the horse.
Hope you enjoy the series.
