Hey everyone,

Today I was in the mood for getting a shot that might look good in black and white. I haven't really bothered trying to get a B&W shot yet, so I figured it was worth an attempt.

I was also in the mood for using my nifty fifty.:lol: The shallow DOF is fun, but I'm finding that it's not as deep as I had thought it would be... (I haven't used this lens much, very used to f/4 and thought it would be practically unusable at f/1.8:o

Anyway, it's a candid of my lil bro and I wanted it to be full black and white, but it looked kind of weird. So, I added just enough saturation to bring out the green of the shirt, and the blue of the bracelet.

Well, lemme know what you think! C&C welcome and wanted.:lol:

Looks great, I think the color level is perfect.
