I hope you'll indulge me, but I really want to know what you think of the black and white vs. color versions - it was a gray sky day and even though the pond was frozen, I managed to catch a nice sequence of swans that flew right at me...(though i didn't get the hawk I saw, again!) So, which do you prefer? Any particular thoughts? Regards...Keith

    Nice shots Keith. I would go with the color versions.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Just to throw this out.

    I really think I prefer the birds in black and white, as there isn't enough color to make my mind register the fact that it is a color photo, so I get a strange jolt when I do see it.

    I know I am in the minority.

    Really nice shots!
