Black and White Book Club 21

My friend Jeanne is without a car so I've been helping her run errands. This poor fellow looked much better last week, but a few days of warmer weather and a rainy day today has made him look a little bedraggled!

No fancy processing on this one. It was basically black and white to begin with! White snow, black hat and eye, and gray sky almost made me leave it as it was. But I converted it anyway and was pleased to see the gray tones become stronger when I did. Added just a little kick in contrast and that was it.

Once again- thank you to everyone for the overwhelming response to yesterday's shot and it's "also ran" counterpart in album #2. Thanks to your generosity I have had a fantastic week here on 365- two shots on the PP and three on the Trending Page! To say that I am excited, would be putting it mildly!
Cool b&w

I think the trending and the PP accolades keep us striving for something special and sometimes it happens! This is such a funny snowman - he has character!

So cool!!!

Nice shot, Ann. It looks like he needs some minor repairs. It's supposed to get cold again, so he can get fixed. It should be a sign of Spring when you see melting snowmen.

Congrats on your shots being on the trending and PP. I gave up getting back to the PP a long time ago and don't ever expect to appear on trending. Glad you made it though. Hope you got screen shots of it.

I like the sense of melting snowman -- it sometimes can mean spring is coming. Probably not this year though!

What can I say after @taffy replied... LOL, very funny.
February 22nd, 2014  
I truly love the contrast and the curves in this shot.

Cool - or is it cold - capture. Too much snow to cope with over there while we are experiencing the warmest winter in years.
February 22nd, 2014  
Cool shot he sure looks a bit bedraggled! LOL

February 22nd, 2014  
Aww poor snowman! Lol. Fun shot.
February 22nd, 2014  
Nice BW shot. The poor snowman looks like it has about had it.
February 22nd, 2014  
Poor little snowman - definitely looks like he has seen better days!
February 22nd, 2014  
Cool shot, he looks almost done !

@maggiemae Thank you Maggie! Yes, he really is a character, isn't he?
@mzzhope Thank you Hope!
@prttblues Thanks Bev! This has never happened to me before- and probably never will again! But I have to be honest, it is a really nice feeling!
@taffy Thanks Taffy! After 3 days of warmer weather, I was going to start an "I Believe in Spring" club!
@anazad511 Thanks Ana! I have to believe it's coming- I just don't know when!

February 23rd, 2014  
LOL! Frosty looks a bit forlorn -- probably wondering what the future brings? Nice basic b & w, no processing needed.
February 23rd, 2014  
Hopefully soon to be a gonner, no offense
February 23rd, 2014  
oh, the poor fellow! might he have made a "recovery" this weekend? :-)

@twr Thanks Timothy!

@digitalrn Thanks Rick! Well, there's some snow in the forecast this week, so he may have a reprieve.
