“When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes.  But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls!”  Ted Grant

 

 

 

Flutterer (Cygnus olor, common name: Mute Swan)

A swan removing water droplets from its wings. The two photos were taken at the same spot, at the same time, therefore the camera settings are the same for both. However the black and white version shows some more detail while the colour photo looks more natural.
