I shot a couple today, nothing great, but I got an idea of what I'm going to do.
You just have to love the beautiful Mn sky. :rofl
Although these will fit in the challenge, I don't really think there's much substance

I'm sure my entry is going to have a bird in it somewhere. :D

    Dave - the sky was cooperating with you, I like both shots. If only the birds were facing you on the second one. As I scrolled down to hit the reply the second one was cropped with just the red and the birds. Looked very nice.

    I like the second one as well, the touch of red in a b&w is always eyecatching I think.

    Thanks for looking at the bird/bridge shots.
    I can find all kinds of shots that fit this challenge, but most just don't
    look that interesting on the computer.

    What about this one.

    Too bad it has some colored/yellowish spots on the stones. But maybe that's OK with the judges. ne_nau.gif
    Great shot otherwise!thumb.gif

    [ arrgh ] some people are so lucky to have snow at the end of March, that calls for awesome BW-like shots... [ /arrgh ]

    Nice shots! I like the first and last of the set best. There is too much negative space in #2 for my taste, although the composition is pleasing. I agree with Nikolai about the brown in the tomb stones. I see it right away and never have a moment of thinking I am looking at a b&w. I'm not sure that will matter in the challenge, though. It is a lovely photo.

    Definately agree w/ Gina. The tombstones shot is a great pic in its' own right, maybe too much colour but that's up to you to decide :D .

    ooooh ! very interesting shot and works for the challenge - Yes I will agree with the yellow - but the overall tone of this is striking.

    I like this for what it is. Your perspective, repetition of the headstones. Might have just a tad to much oolour for challenge.
