I've just started thinking more about black and white photography after taking this picture in County Durham. It was a damp grey day, the sort of day that would normally see me leaving the camera at home. When I first looked at the photo in Lightroom, I wished I'd stuck to walking the dog, but it seemed to come to life when I switched to black and white. It's something I hardly ever do and so I'd appreciate any feedback. I realise it's not a great shot, but it's encouraging me to go out now with black and white in mind. I have a feeling that black and white makes you focus a bit harder on composition and the positioning of the different elements of a picture. I know that I all too often find myself using the cropping tool to make up for a lack of discipline at the time of shooting. Can anyone relate to this? Rob
