The Young Piper
Ok, you have seen the colour version of this shot so here is the B&W version. This young piper was standing near to the Eilean Donan castle on the side of Loch Duich in the Highlands of Scotland playing some traditional Scottish songs for the tourists. I turned the shot into B&W by using Photoshop Elements 7. I hope you like the photo and thank you so much for viewing my work, please call back again soon.

Thank you Joak for a great comment
Sue Buckingham
I even understood Joak that time…LOL I love it in both to be honest Tony. I tend to lean toward b/w more usually but there are some great colours in the colour one xx
Anthony Hedger replied
LOL I know what you mean Sue and thank you for your kind comment. I am loving B&W lately, there is something about it??
Trevor Patters...
Tony, its a great shot, I like the colour one most, but it seems that when RB crop it to make a card, they chop the poor lads feet off… Which seems a great shame as it spoils it. Maybe you should chop some of the tree line off at the top and reload it and see if that stops them from butchering the poor lads feet!
Anthony Hedger replied
Thank you for a great comment Trevor and well spotted on the crop. I will try what you said, thanks buddy
