Hello Feathered Friends Lovers,

Welcome again to #SMaP Show Me A Photo Contest!

We reached round 47 and I had this idea of black and white photos of birds for quite some time. It would be interesting to see how your colourful birds will look only in b&w. You can do it either by using filters, or shooting in black and white, or stripping the colours using any editing app. You have a choice how to change the image.

The new theme for this round is:

BIRDS IN BLACK AND WHITE

Saturday was a nice day and while I was in the Sea Garden I went to see the ducks in the pond. They are good models and I will show more photos in some other post. Now I chose two that I have turned in black and white as an example of what I would love to see.

And the original

And the original.

It would be nice if you can too show your original photo.
Now it is your turn and I am very much looking forward to seeing your black and white entries.

Rules

Show me your photo of a bird, following these rules:
