John,
That's just the kind of shot I have been envisioning for some time now ...
a true black and white photo but with a color focal point in it. Down here
we seldom get enough snow to get a true b & w photo. I think what started
me thinking was a photo of cows titled "Black & White Cows". I think I
have also seen one done of zebras that way.

And in other news . . .
Finally got cabin fever today waiting for at least one day on a weekend
with some clear sky and bright sun. Been heavy overcast with fog since Friday.
Sometimes you gotta go with the flow and let the weather make the
photograph instead of trying to make the weather. Went out to a local
park and shot off a number of frames. Used the heavy overcast and fog I
had been cursing for almost a month for some very low contrast. With the
snow on the ground, barren trees and heavy overcast, nearly everything was
black white, or gray except for the bridge. Its deep red should make it
stand out, and the fog softened the background making it disappear . . .
melting off to nothing as contrast fell rapidly with distance.
It will be interesting to see how it all turns out. The ducks and geese
were out in the water as portions of the ice finally melted enough for
them to swim around again. The seemed quite happy about that. Like kids
on the first day the pool opens for Summer.
