Color Blind

With so many beautiful colors being presented in this gallery, which are truly inspiring, I thought I would do a contrarian and put up a black and white.

Advice and criticisms always appreciated.

Trying black and white makes sense for a Blackbird. The scene doesn't really show a lot of tonal variation (I think that's what the B+W aficionados call it) though. I'm not clear why you chose such a high iso, perphaps you wanted to intentionally introduce grain/noise? Thank you for trying something a bit out of the norm Jimmie, good to have a contrarian shake things up now and then. :smile:

I like the pattern of the branches in this image Jimmie, I think including a little more room on the left so as to include the end of the perch there would improve this, along with shooting at a lower iso to reduce the noise. :toast:
