I normally shoot color, but given that this is Wilk's challenge and he loves black and white, I took a spin with black and white conversion on this post. Tonight, Anna and I went down out to get some late day shots. Unfortunately, the sun went down behind clouds, so the light was not great. However I did get a few images when the sun was peaking out.

My eye was drawn to this grass that looked luminescent, almost like bunches of little fairies. I am interested in knowing whether you prefer the color or black and white version, if any. I know that most of the blades of grass are not in focus. I wasn't worried about that because what I wanted to capture was the glowing rim around the tops. The fly on the one blade of grass was a bonus. I didn't see that until I got home.

This is my entry in the seeing wide challenge. I didn't bother posting the color version of this one because I think the black and white is far better.
