"Gimly"

Took several pictures today with high contrast B&W in mind, not happy with any particularly but this was probably the better, still struggle to find the right subject for all the different B&W techniques I'm learning about.....

I agree, Susie. It has been a real challenge to find subjects that fit what I have in mind for the techniques, too. I almost wish I'd have undertaken this challenge in the spring/summer or had a better 'back stock' of photos that I could pop open. But, if it wasn't a struggle, it wouldn't be much of a challenge. Rock on!

I like him and your shot of him. :)

[Judith Greenwood]

I like him - you've picked out nice highlights in his face.

[Hazel]

A jolly fellow! I feel the same about the challenge and have almost reverted to posting a b&w but not always relevant to that week!

[carol white]

Nicely captured b/w

[Yao RL]

What a creature, I like the details shown in the light,

[Milanie]

I do like him - and the highlights are nice - "thinking" in b&w for images is definitely different from color to bring what you want out - still not comfortable trying to know what would work well.

[Leah]

Great candid capture of this interesting fellow!!! Nicely done!!!

[Cornelia]

Very nice shot! Works well in bw

[Me again]

It sounds so easy, contrast in B&W but it is difficult to capture a good photo in B&W that stands out. I likt this one and the shade on his face!
And did he drink the 'famous grouse'?

[Joyce]

Interesting fellow and I like the lighting in this Susie

[Vera]

That's quite a character!

@melston @monty147 @judithg @quietpurplehaze @carolmw @yaorenliu @milaniet @lealady @firzhugh @marcha @thistle @vera365 Thankyou for all your kind comments. I'm persevering with the B&W as I am learning such a lot but have to admit I shall be glad to get a bit of colour back at the end of the month....
