  1. Stunning photography. Surprising how effective the black and white is. They are all lovely shots, but I love the Trumpeter Swan.

  3. Love these shots in black and white. You got some great images. That owl is awesome, and the swan is postcard perfect. An award winner, eh? (That's my attempt at fitting in up here in Canada!)

      Thanks though...maybe a daily trip to Tim Horton's would help...

  5. I think we can see things in Black and White that we might otherwise miss, like the expressions and the artistic positioning of some of the birds. A lovely study ... enjoyed to the fullest!

  6. BEAUTIFUL shots, Dave! Especially the B&W Warbler, my favorite. For an aspiring photographer, what settings did you use on that one?

  8. It's a good thing to have a different look at things and black and white will do that.

  9. Beautiful! That warbler did not need much processing to turn out in monochrome!

  10. Whew. I think what I was going to say has all been said, so if I repeat, forgive me.

    At first I am like, black & white - WTH?!

    But as I looked I noticed more detail. I guess I am distracted with rich colors and this was a great idea.

    My fave? - the bald eagle - of course!

    I just returned from Niagara Falls, Canada.

    My great nephew was intrigued with the "eh". :)
