Humming Bird in Monochrome

I suppose some folks would consider it risky to present a colorful hummingbird in high contrast black and white. But where's the fun in always playing it safe.

Lovely. I really like the POV. It’s unusual to see in black and white. It really is striking. V

A beautiful capture with the elegance of fine art photography combined with the artistic approach of a detailed graphite drawing. Wonderful lighting and POV Nick. VV

This works quite well in mono, emphasis on form and composition.

Love how he is sitting on the top of the branch. The angle of his bill and the branch make the shot for me, well done! V

It looks really attractive in B&W. I like trying things everyone is used to seeing in color too. ~BV~

A nice close up captured on a great perch you must have a in with Hummingbirds. Hard to ID in monochrome excellent gambling presentation.

well done to follow your muse..your inspired approach lifts the photo beyond the mundane...excellent shot articulating the tiny speedster so clearly..

An amazing monochrome and probably the first Hummingbird photography I see in B&W. V.

Often color distracts/detracts. The light background and border ups its effect. "VV"

From the thumbnail I was not sure this was a hummingbird. Great experiment and fine capture. V

Sharp capture with a great pose, and the B&W is quite striking.
