Howard: I like how the b/w treatment makes me look at the shapes and lines in the image. That said. I'm so used to seeing bird photos in color that I's like to see the color version for comparison.enlightened Richard

That's a wonderful bird in great light. The B&W works nicely.

Congrats on the EP, Howard!
