Got my eyes on you..
Hey Steemit!
Have a look at these amazing Bataleur eagles in B&W and colour, from the Kalahari Trans-frontier park in Namibia. Which one do you prefer? Black with all the shades of grey is amazing with the contrasting white back ground. I feel its very effective.
Here is another shot, where they kindly changed their poses. Their colours are really interesting as well so I felt it was a nice addition to this post. Please leave a like and a folow if you would like to see more in the future, I post regularly.
Please have a look at some of my other work: here is another eagle from yesterday and here curated by the guild @curie , a post that im sure validates this as original content because they do the best curation around.
Colour looks much better.
Glad you liked it @kurdsteem !
Wow! Awesome pics indeed... It's hard to pick a favourite... but I think I prefer the colour version :-)
Catch you on the @teamsouthafrica discord!
awesome!
Now the choice would be to go with colour with that lovely tawny colour on the wings and that handsome red beak and claws. B&W turned out stunning reflecting into shades of grey contrasting with the black, no decision both are excellent @jakesdewet

Hey @joanstewart My son is the more tech savy one and he says that he will join discord on our behalf. His steemit tag is @hansdewet. Thank you for your kind words and the awesome support!
Followed and welcomed him to the team today, sorry have a bad internet connection at the moment terribly slow getting around.
Ask you son to show you Discord, it is super easy once you get there and come join the team as well. Open to all South African's and people born here and moved to yonder lands.
Beautiful. Found you at @teamsouthafrica discord group.
Black and white works very well here.
Dankie @reonlouw . Thanks for the comment.
I normally would run with color (especially with colorful things, like these bird), but this photo works really well in black and white. :)
I thought so too. Really glad you are enjoying my work!
Wow, those are beautiful! I do love those colours though :)
Great job man. Come join us on Team South Africa.
I sent my son over to discord he is better at these things than me. We have a few people on steemit from SA that we will join.
Awesome, good stuff :)
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
wow very nice i like the brutal post 😍😍😍
Thank you for you nice comment @angeltirado
buenas fotografias y espectacular aves...@jakesdewet
muchos gracias @memox17 !
Both awesome photos, @jakesdewet, but I'm leaning towards the black & white because it's so sharp and the shades of grey are exquisite. I read a book years ago about people with strange neuropsychiatric conditions, and one of the stories was about an artist - an extremely successful painter - who had permanent brain damage from an accident...and could no longer see in colour. However, he continued painting in shades of grey and the results were incredible, as he had the capability to see "more" shades than the rest of us. I think your camera picked up some of the "more". Thanks for sharing!
hehe. Thanks for the comment. I dont think you can count the different amount of shades. And that makes it so amazing I think...
Indeed it does. I wonder how many shades of grey the human eye can perceive, in comparison to how many a digital camera can pick up....
I really like the black and white!
I secretly like it slightly more.
