Horse and Rider [Contest Finalists April 2009]
Uploaded: April 16, 2009 06:35:45
I have always been a big fan of black and white but have not really done much of it myself. I am going to do a series of black and whites, some old pictures I have entered and redo, some new.
In this one I did leave a hint of blue in the horses eye as it was so unique to see this type and color of eye on the horse.
Hope you enjoy the series.

You've done an excellent job on this one Frank! Outstanding shot myfriend! #7412697Kirsten Kiki Kjaer April 17, 2009
This works really really well in B&W, Frank. And I love the gentle and soulful look in that gorgeous blue eye!!! I also love the tighter crop of this one. In my book this is a sure winner!!! #7413195Carolyn J. Connolly April 17, 2009
Frank, this is fantastic!! I absolutely LOVE the desaturation of this image...except for some selective blue left in the eye...and the new crop is outstanding!! :o)I really think you're onto a winner here...and I'm already looking forward to seeing more of your monochromatic series, too!! :o)
Phil and I wish you and Annie a really wonderful weekend when it comes to you - it is already just after 9:30 on Friday evening here for us where we are (on the east coast) Downunder!! :o) #7413525
