Beyond

February. A whole month of black and white. The first challenge is on high or low key and the sharp contrasts. Someone posted just this week that one subject a good photographer should avoid is pets and here the first one I am posting is a pet. Since I don't even consder myself a photographer I guess I shan't worry about being a good one!

That article also said that it was amateurish to photograph sunsets...well if that's the case I'll stay an amateur! Lovely shot and processing.

A very moving pet portrait--the key key makes the eye the focal point, and you can feel his/her personality. Love it! Fav.
