Excellent composition and wonderful subjects.  Great conversion, the b/w suits it so well.

Another good one Ruud; sharp, all the necessary tones, and intriguing subject - where are they going, can they get the pushchair on the bus...Gillie

Self framed!  He may have to climb that ladder backwards.

Much appreciated comments by two masters of b/w processing; dank je, obrigado!

Masterful use of b/w, really appealing picture.

Very goof;  I am glad I can't see whatever it is they have seen!

Beautiful, nice dof.

Delightful.

I like the seaweed tones throughout the picture.

Good Heavens!  I have not seen a sight like that.  Still cold up there then!

A wonderful memory of dear Callie.

From the thumbnail, I thought it was a picture from a 'plane, so I couldn't have been more wrong!  Very pretty!  Gillie

Thank you all for taking the time to comment; much appreciated.  Gillie

Wood duck fly at around 50mph, which is fairly slow when compared to

the red breasted merganser, one of which was clocked at 100mph when

followed by a 'plane!

Delightful.

Very attractive.

Great shot; my back is anticipating the jar as it smacks down on the water!

Me too!  We have plenty here, but rarely see more than a couple of adults at a time.  Good capture, lovely colors.

i can almost feel that wind blow!

Wonderful image. 

Good one; feisty terrier being calmed by owner.  Super street scene.

Beautiful juxtaposition of the different textural qualities in the clouds and hills; for once the 'lone tree' is not a cliche but a bold statement of survival.
