@Terri French -- Even in monochrome, the busy pattern in the shirt is a little distracting from his face. Consider toning down the large white squares in the shirt.

I find that the white in the shirt mirrors the white in his beard and hair; provides a visual echo or balance.

Work in progress. Found a chap undertaking drystone wall repairs while I was walking the dog. There's a lot of patience and skill involved. More than I have, to be sure.

I think I’ll just try a better photo when he is wearing something more plain. I’ve been having fun playing around with B&W. Thanks for getting me started on it again!

The other day, in this CS, I shared a photo of Greg that I took with my new (to me) 85 f1.8 S lens. It is the only photo I have taken of a person with this lens so far. I was happy with the sharpness, but the mixed color lighting in the photo really bothered me. Since so many on the forum have been helping me with my B&W conversion, I decided to try my hand at this one. It's not a great background and the light was low. But the conversion really improved the image IMHO. Thanks to all of you who are helping me learn when and how to convert. So I hope sharing a better version in this CS is appropriate.View attachment 1679248

Terrific black and white Terri.

He was playing a harmonica, but unfortunately I couldn't make that as apparent as I would have liked.

All from our three season porch, which we have been busy cleaning up, along with the rest of our house, as we are preparing to search for a more retirement friendly home and plan on selling our home. Amazing how much crud one collects.

Nice, those are getting popular as outdoor tree decorations.

Thanks all. I wasn't really looking to shoot anything but I grabbed my camera just to move it and there was the cat in the window and...
BTW, she considers herself to be very photogenic.

One last one before the CS ends. Thank you for indulging me this week as I have shared a lot. Cabin fever has hit big time and photography and the cafe is pulling me through.

Our old Zoey girl got groomed yesterday.
