I really like the simplicity of this photo and also the strong distinctions between dark and light. I also like the textures you have added and how well the bird is standing out from the background.

The photo is sharp with clear and well defined details, but the bird is probably a tad under exposed.

The format you have cropped the photo into works well, and the bird has got a fine placement within the frame. I think this is an all together lovely and well taken Soulfeeder, and I wish you luck with the contest.

Well this dramatic shot certainly meets the main criteria of this contest.

This is a good looking B&w image you have posted.

It is very well framed with fine emphasis on the head and eye.

The capture is bright with fine contrast and excellent white balance control.

Exposure and sharpness are excellent.
Well done and good luck in the contest!... Bob

    Thanks, Darla. The black and white is an editing tool. Conversion to black and white.

he capture is definitely showing his intense concentration on his next meal. I. The focus and clarity are very good. I think the black and white rendition does it justice.

Nieves, you have done a fine job of capturing this heron scouting around for a meal. The near silhouette projects a feeling of intent, patience and determination. Very enjoyable. The best of luck in the black and white contest. Ray

This B&W portrait of the heron captures the subject's essence beautifully, revealing its unique character and personality. The composition of this portrait is superb, drawing the viewer's eye to the subject and creating a sense of balance and harmony. Well done. I wish I had a six to give which it richly deserves.

Excellent capture of the heron as it watches its prey. The Black and white works well as the heron stands out perfectly from the background.
Focus is sharp on the eye of the bird.
Good luck in contest.
