Well, not really wild, but he likes to pretend for the camera.
My Flickr friend Fergal... challenged me to try black and white images for our Get Pushed! challenge. He set the standard pretty high, and really pushed me out of my comfort zone.
Here's my second attempt. I discovered that the lighting has to be perfect for black and white, and the contrasts need to be sharper than for colour photos. I can't rely on Mother Nature to dazzle the eye with her colours, instead the responsibility for a good shot falls to me. Fortunately, Photoshop is pretty forgiving ;-)
This challenge has given me an entirely new respect for those who work in B&W!
