Thank You Gail! It was pretty funny I waited quite a while hoping for them to run and she laid down and took a nap. I convert to B&W. I am getting to the point that I pretty much know when I am shooting if it is a B&W shot for me if that makes any sense. I kind of feel that color can distract from the image sometimes and then other times the color seems integral to the image. I don’t know if I explain it very well but I do think about it when i am shooting, sometimes my exposure will be a little different based on whether it is color or not that I want. That happens a lot when the subject is strongly backlit. If it is B&W and the background is blown out it doesn’t bother me, I just want as much cetail and tones in the subject as possible, that is not always true if it is going to be color. I’m rambling but hope that answers your question. In these two photos the green grass seemed distarcting to me, the middle gray color in B&W of the grass just makes it disappear for me.
