Animals in Black and White

[steven kessel]

I post from time to time (bird portraits, best animal photos, bif) and like just about everyone else's images, the images that I post are in color. But, sometimes, black and white just seems to make a stronger statement. Here's a photo of Polistes flavus wasp, a native of the Sonoran Desert that has the unique ability to stand and even walk on the surface of water without falling in. I like this image in color but I love it in black and white.

Is is taken in black and white set up? Or just the color itself reflect black and white for this insect!

I am convinced he was sent to me as punishment for some horrible deed I committed in a past life

Even in the world of color he is always underfoot and unnoticed till a trip and a stumble lets you know he's there

Hi,

There was a dark green background from trees. On LR converted to B&W then set Green to as dark as posssible. There were just a few lighter spots to tidy up!! On this photo below I set anything blue to as dark as possible for the same effect!
