Focus On Life Week 16 ~ A Moment Best Captured in Black and White

Sometimes, when there is no distraction of color, the image is no longer just a photo but a clean, honest, deeper look at life.

I wasn't sure what I was going to photograph after reading the prompt, but then my girls came to spend the week and I wanted to capture a moment between them.  The two of them adore each other and there is always a lot of laughing going on.  Trying to get a shot without one of them moving proved to be quite difficult.




But then I got this shot and I couldn't have been happier!

Have a happy and blessed Easter weekend!

  2. There is something special about black and white photos, they put emphasis on the subject and the eyes focus on what matters without wandering off into the background.
    These are lovely shots and that last picture is perfect. :)

    I agree with Anna sometimes you just can't beat a good B.& W. photo :)
