I like playing with b&w so I'm bound to figure it out eventually. I've learned a lot here so far! For that I thank my forum friends.

What a great image, Coco,
WOW -- I love it! Sure wish I could tell people I took it.

That's an excellent B&W conversion but this is one where my personal preference is clearly on the side of the color version. That's one to put on the wall.

Coco, Rusty took the words right out of my mouth. Outstanding job. Both the color and b&w.

Coco, Both pic's are really great.

Why thank you Rusty. Your kind remarks are greatly appreciated.

I totally agree, the B&W is perfect, but the colour one is outstanding. It's a proof you don't have to push saturation or mix multiple colours to get the best results.

Thank you Gail for your kind remark. Michel I greatly appreciate your comments as well. It is so considerate of both of you.

Coco, this is a dream of an image and so delicate and well presented.
I love it!!! A++++

Don Diego - you've rendered me speechless. Thank you. I'm honored.

They are beautiful, coco..i lean towards the color also
