I was sitting on the deck and saw my hat on the railing and snapped a photo.

Water drops falling.

This was taken with my Olympus FL-300R flash. The background is a stainless steel sink and it has not been converted to black & white.

Frank,

Some of my favourite shots are colour which looks like it's monochrome, and it's great to see someone else appreciating that too. Love the shot.

And if you want a real turn-off, which you may have already tried, do try a conversion to black and white. Every time I've tried that on a shot that's monochrome in colour, it's bombed badly. I end up losing tonality and life. Somewhere I think there's a law of photography which says something like "If it looks like great black and white and it's in colour, it will really suck if you then do a black and white conversion".

David, I did try converting it to black & white and it sucked. :) I agree - it lost tonality and life.
