I think this was the best shot of the afternoon as far as conversion to B&W go. As the ball is against the lighter green you can see it here. Still not convinced I have gained anything by converting. Again perhaps selective colouring of the ball would help the shot.
They are both good shots Pam, but to my eye the colour version is better. I found the very black background too heavy for my liking and it tended to swallow the remainder of the shot.
