Hi all,

Hope you've had an enjoyable Christmas with friends and family.

I took a trip to my local kite feeding station yesterday with the intention of something a bit arty. Not sure if I've pulled it off! Black and white conversions are something I haven't really experimented with but I'm here to learn so your feedback is welcome.

Thanks,

Chris

You have pulled it of for me Chris :eek: Love the composition and the blur,the lack of frame works well and gives the image a sense of space as though the bird could fly off the page,B+W treatment looks great.hope you had a nice christmas and happy new year :wink: :wavey:

Depends on the context it's used in Chris but as a 'book image', it works for me.

I like it, works for me, movement and enhanced sense of space.

I bought a huge charcoal sketch of something very similar years ago. Only it had showed a peregrine going in on a hare.
Like it a lot.

Hey Chris

A brave but well executed image. The level of motion blur and the comp are both spot on, as is the bw treatment

Well done

I really like this, the blur and b&w work really well.
