Not much happening at Cypress today. Everything was heavily backlit.

Despite the back lighting that’s still some pretty vivid colors you captured.

Editing the turtle image was a bear.

Haven't been able to get out and shoot due to covid hanging on. I'm pretty much over it now, and have a few more days until I can go out without a mask. I know, the masks are useless, but I want to do my due diligence. Anyway I got the idea to try a different editing approach to one of my previous shots. I don't do a lot of B&W on wildlife, but occasionally, it is an improvement over the color version, and often it is just an interesting variation. I think this is an improvement. I may have said this before, but I don't mind criticism of my shots. If you don't care for it, tell me so, and let me know why, if you can identify what you don't like about it. I appreciate honest feedback.

Here is the original color version.

And here is the B&W version. I did blur the background a little in the B&W version, as well as lowering the exposure for a little better subject separation. Some may prefer the color, and others the B&W. A lot depends on individual taste.

I like them both, but If I had to choose...it would be the one with color. The shades in his mane are beautiful.
