Day #146 @ Photography Project 365

While in a park in Salzburg, I noticed this statue of a unicorn. The photo turned out rather plain in color but in black and white, it is quite captivating.

The thing about black and white photography is that it needs strong, prominent and well-defined shapes to turn out well. I guess it's because black and white photos have very high contrast and distinct objects are able to truly exploit this characteristic.

You truly brought this statue 'to life' by using b&w. Very nice shot!

Thanks, Rick. It does indeed look much better in B&W. The original colors were rather dull.
