Mark, glad you joined in with B&W, and what a fine image you posted. The dark tones in the moose really make them stand out – its the first thing I notice. Then you see the antlers and you know the fight is on. The lighter tones in the background set off the fighting pair beautifully. Very well done!

I'm with you Mark! Nature gives us wonderful colours, so why do we want to see black and white??!! Just sometimes we take a step out of our comfort zone, and it looks like you have done the challenge proud with your battling bulls. A beauty!

Great post Mark- contrasts are what really make this conversion work. Then add the wonderful expression and poses of these two, and you have a real winner. A very strong scene here-exciting! So glad you joined the challenge.
