It’s not often that I convert a shot to black and white. I prefer color myself. But there are some pictures that just look better in black and white. I think this picture is one example. Here’s the original.
Canon 40d, 50mm lens, f/2.0, iso 100.
I thought she looked so cute, almost posed, when she flopped up on that old swing and put her hands behind her head. But the picture, in color, didn’t come out as cute as I thought it would be. I originally changed it to black and white because I hated the look of the old green swing. But once I’d made the change, I realized it was what the photo wanted to be from the beginning. Don’t you agree?
