Getting a shot, sharp focus, clear colors… then drop color, add cyan, and soften the focus.
Makes perfect sense to a photographer.

Closed, Main Street
Time has not been good to many small towns. I have walked, and shot, this street several times in the past year. Nothing has changed, one way or the other.
Anything I can think to say here will sound political to someone. So I will not make any comments other than to ask, is there anything that could breath life back into small town Main Street?
Road Ends
This is one of my favorite B&W shots. It was originally published on an all Black and White web site last year.
Shot in a small rural town in South Carolina, the main focus of the image was the rough end of an old dirt road. And signs by the RR track were clear, the road ends.
And then, with perfect timing…
a small Guinea Hen walked out into the shot.
I like to think of this style as ‘rural street photography’.
Touch Down, Black And White, Stork
This image nicely displays the multiple layers of feathers on big wading birds.
The second layer of wing feathers are called ‘Coverts’, looking almost like a cape on some large birds.
Coverts are very pronounced on a Wood Stork since the main flight feathers are black, the coverts white.
They always add some contrast to any image of a Wood Stork landing.
