Having swopped the old MKIII (many issues) for a blue spot and then recalibrated all my lens, thought I would give it a whirl this afternoon whilst the light was good. IMHO I converted to B/W, WDYT?

Very elegant.

A good choice for the B&W :toast:

I like it generally but would work on the background and remove the light spots.
Nice one

Hi Steve,

This is an absolutely brilliant shot - the black and white conversion just takes it to another level. Great stuff.

Outstanding shot Steve, timeless in fact. It is definitely the better for having removed the pale patches, but it was pretty damn good top start with.

First class image Steve. Well composed and presented.
Be interested to see how you get on with the new camera on something that's moving.
