red in B&W & repost red in red

Continuing my search for some fresh B&W images, a slightly different take on the red squirel front. Spanish red taken a few years ago but re-processed. These guys weren't interested in peanuts, only the natural pine cones, clearly not junk food addicts like the Formby reds......

Nice, I am surpised that it works well in B/W.... but it does.

So was I,.... I think it's the eye that grabs your attention, I thought it would be a mushy low contrast job, but nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say

Nice, different in B/W really like it, well done

Surprisingly this works well in B&W , probably down to that inky black eye.

Good . Reminds me of days gone by !

nice image, the pose is great and you are right about the eye

it's a nice shot and the B&W certainly gives it something different, but I still get a desire to see the colours. May be just me.

Reason for my interest in B&W at present is I have a large expanse of peach coloured hanging space in a flat, images in colour just simply clash but B&W images in a contemporary simple black frame look OK

Its ok but I think I prefer b&w images of flora and the like rather fauna, I think something is lost in the lack of colours, the only time I find this not to be the case is when you have images that are taken in to the sun or have really strong backlighting when almost all of the colour is lost due to harsh lighting(hope you know what I mean).

..... and here is the same image in colour, well almost, cropped for A4 colour printing

Very nice indeed and after seeing the two side by side the black and white one is my favourite.

Cute shot, and I rather like the b&w treatment here.
Since you mentioned Formby, I was up in Manchester on the weekend, so decided to pop over for only my second visit there. Two hours wandering around produced not a single sighting of a Red Squirrel. Looks like `the pox` has wiped almost all of them out. How sad.
