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

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.
