Default Puckering Peacocks, Steve's stolen all of my colours!!!!!!!!

First of all I would like to thank all of the DPS family for your comments over the past few months and for getting me over the 500 post threshold, I forgot to thank you guy's yesterday, must of been having a senior moment LOL. I have learnt so much and still learning plenty so I hope to stay.
Here are some shots I took a while ago of a peacock and decided to take away their beautiful colours to see what they might look like in B&W and sepia

Peacock one

peacock 2

Peacock in sepia

Thanks for viewing

Peacock and B/W: seems like an oxymoron, that's why it's interesting. Nice shots!

Okay Steve... I thought NOOOOO don't take the colors away from the peacocks... but I must tell you, it looks fantastic. I really like how the sepia one turned out. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

I like the b & w Steve, You can appreciate the patterns more, but I'm sure they look just as spectacular in color.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

What an interesting and creative idea. It really shows off the structure of their marvelous feathers. Thanks so much for sharing these with us.
