The White Knight turns away from The Dark Side...

Today's photo is an exercise in high contrast with a restricted tonal range.

As always, better viewed large to see the shadow detail...

clever shot - nice capture with the lighting

@shannejw That was quick Shanne... and thanks for the Fav.

the horse looks sad about it

[Richard Sayer]

@aponi The horse was very much in touch with his own darkside, but he's faithful to his master's bidding ;-))

I really like the commentary that goes with this shot. Very apt title. The lighting is lovely.

[Tom]

Very clever, and again creative lighting to enhance the b & w tonal range.

[TheRubySusan]

Wonderful! I love that set, and you're putting it to splendid use this month!

[Jocasta]

Great photo and great pieces

[Steve Davis]

Queen's knight turns from King's night. Nice chess pieces and nice use of tonal restriction. I am starting to play more with B&W and your shots inspire me.

[April]

You get such a wonderful range in tones.

[Shelley]

Very creative, great lighting and composition.

[Karen H]

That looks like a great chess set.

[Niki]

The pony is just too cute. Great image.

[Meredith McNay]

Richard, great shot. love it in b&w.

[Keith Porteous]

Lovely Richard, really enjoying your b&w shots !

[Joan Robillard]

Got to get busy today and try for a bw but I know it won't be as wonderful as this. But I thought more Don Quixote for some reason.

[Pete Roberts]

Very clever Richard I like the way you have done that using the shadows and light

[Fisher Family]

A lovely shot - great portrayal of light and dark!
