Sometimes the decision to go black and white or stay color is difficult. I love a good black and white image. It takes all distractions away and allows the subjects to speak for themselves simplifying the image. I have a color version of this image that I posted earlier, but this one really popped as a black and white. The birdhouse and grass standout, while the bird is slightly blurred as it is in motion. The country scene is the background becomes more subtle yet gives the viewer an environment to appreciate. I love the simplicity of this black and white which makes the title, "Country Simplicity" fitting. Enjoy!
