Finch

I wouldn't normally like wildlife in b&w but these little finches are black and white anyway and I think it's more striking without the distraction of colour.

We're having a bbq tonight for yet another grandson's birthday. Six of our grandchildren are within a couple of months so it means we get together quite regularly at this time of year which is always a good thing.

Hope everyone has a great weekend, I hope to catch up with you all tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by.

Great job in monochrome. He is so cute. Enjoy your family.

[alia_801]

Beautiful capture - lovely detail. The B&W works nicely.

[Carole Imes]

Good use of minimum space with the splash of lighting. You caught the details in the bird so well in b & w. Another fav.

[Poppo Livy]

Do you realise that after this little finch saw your comments about him not having any worthwhile colour, it took off and deliberately flew straight into the grille of a semi?

[Sheralee S]

@terryliv hahaha, when I say lol I'm not really laughing out loud most of the time but this time I was!

[zab coloma]

great tones, lovely capture sheralee

[Nicole Campbell]

Beautiful capture and the black and white works perfectly

[Mrs. Laloggie]

Better late than never.... I've enjoyed every one of your B&W postings this month. I just seem to be on a perpetual late time clock for everything lately. This little fellow is so cute and looks great in B&W.
