I never shoot in Black and White but the photo I captured of this gorgeous Great White Egret was nearly so. Later, going into Photo Shop I desaturated til I got the effect I wanted then just lightened with the dodge tool a tiny bit on his bill to give e a contrast between his bill and the water... and I was Happy!! He is in such a classic pose of elegance!

I was shooting with my Canon Power Shot G3X which is just the greatest 'toy' to take on trips when you can't carry all your gear with you.
