I’m really glad you enjoyed the image! I chose black & white for this image because I really like the balance monochrome brings to the photograph. Like a Clyde Butcher photo for example, a really pleasing photo with a unique mood and character.
In this case not just with this shot but many other past shots, I will do a color version as well to showcase a more lively mood from the photo. It’s really neat how black & white can reveal a whole new character and feel to the photograph. 🙂
