Tuesday Take - Soaring
"Soaring"
Many times I have difficulty in deciding between presenting a photo in color or grayscale. I usually like both, each giving the picture a different feel. But this one was a no-brainer: the sky had clouds that competed with my subject and converting it to grayscale blended them away.
This is lovely! What a great shot.

I usually choose colorful shots, but in this capture, b/w is perfect

Super sharp, especially for an "in-flight" picture. Great job!

And I love the way the wings are almost translucent...

I aalways have difficulty in when to go greyscale or leave my pics in color. I like your choice of grey scale here.

I had the same dilemma today. Not wanting to choose, I posted both! This is a stunning image. I think you chose wisely. I love this.

Just beautiful! I like the way the body changes gray to pure white. And the wings have such a fragile look.

Just lovely, June. I really like the way the light is shining through the wing.

Oh, beautiful one! It seems incredibly still in the moment of nature though I know it was an action shot.
