The Monochrome Winter series continues with another image from my snow falling walk along the barge canal. I had the bridge this fence is associated with as the destination when I started the walk. I ended up liking these snow topped fence posts over the actual view of the bridge. Sometimes the details are more interesting than the grand view.

The latest image in my Monochrome Winter series. I’m glad I decided to try something like this. It has me looking around quite differently. Not only am I looking for a scene or object but now I am looking for tone and contrast, light and shadow. Obviously qualities that should be present in any image but not something I focused on previously.

I live out in the country. My neighbor has a farm but mostly for a few horses and show cows. The current horse, Sonota, has been a favorite subject of mine although it is rare I get an image I truly like. Yesterday she posed for me as I was walking past her enclosure. This is probably the first image I have of her that I am very happy with.
I ended up trying to process this image as a black & white too. I’m not sure it is any better than the color version but I thought I would give it a try. I kept the processing very simple by only working in Lightroom for the conversion. I thought I would overdue the processing if I tempted myself with Topaz Labs B&W Effects.
Is This Pose Good?
