Beautiful shot. The feathers look especially nice with all the contrasts.

This is a terrific black and white photo. The feathers on this duck have fine definition and a patchwork of shades, from white to black. Very sharp! Good luck in the challenge.

This certainly highlights the tail feathers, which might have just been "another part of the image" in a colour shot. Well done, Chris

I like this one very much, but wonder what it looks like in color besides. Good luck in the challenge.

I really like the way the B&W format brings out the coloring and patterns of the feathers. Terrific entry!

A lovely, rather meditative shot. The duck appears to be contemplating something.
