Very nice Deb! Simple and natural composition. The B&W conversion is great but what I really like is the depth of field. I think its enhanced even more by the fact that the water is highlighted in the foreground and dark in the background.

I look forward to seeing more of your B&W work as the year progresses.

And as I stood on the street, the bird ignored me, drinking from the water along the cobblestones, immune to my presence, with a delicate balanced step forged in the foundry of time. I looked, and he was gone . . .

Thanks for capturing him for us, Deb, your work is always a delight. Welcome home :)

Grrr - I typed something and then it did not post. Too quick to push buttons I think. Anyway, I am glad that I will get to see pics from Germany now! Looking forward to it.

What I love about your work is how you are able to take something very simple and turn it into a beautiful piece of art. I love the curve leading into the photo. And the contrast and detail on the feathers is awesome!
