Why thank you Lyn for such kind words. Part of sharing is the pleasure of finding others enjoy your work, so it means a lot to me to hear your appreciation. Yes I love B&W as a medium and I find seemes to bring out a hidden beauty in subjects often lost in colour. Not everyone sees that.....but it is nice to meet those that do :)I am glad you enjoyed my portfolio, and hope you continue too, again I appreciate your wonderful and kind words.
Chris, this is an absolutely beautiful portrait and photograph in a magnificant portfolio. I noticed that many of your photographs are b;ack/white. It is said that to truly appreciate photography, one must first appreciate the black/white photograph. Something I learned while studying professional photography, and it is so true. It is also a concept that it is more difficult to compose a photograph in black/white, which I believe is also true. Your black/white photographs are composed magnificantly. Your color ones too. I truly enjoyed viewing your portfolio.
