@Misha - i actually have the contract signed but not the money in hand. lol as for what i normally shoot...B&W. have for over 30 years now and just prefer it. the market is limited but it's primarily in what i enjoy..."fine art B&W"...so i won't argue. :-) @ Brenda - not MY warts...i like them...it's other people's warts silly! lol you surprised me girl...figured you go for the color. when i flipped the coin it came up B&W...just because i have a two-headed nickle. lol @ Azy - hmmm...wonder if it isn't a monitor thing with the washed out tree? it shows a lot of detail here on my monitor. actually more detail in the B&W than in the color image...on my monitor at least. @ Cindy - lmao...just now noticed it says "warts" and not "whats"...as i'd been reading it. lol the series is actually two series of 4 images each. they've been chosen but the co. asked for a few more for possible future use. so i was thinking of this one and 3 others that i really like. @ Sheila - i think it was the moodiness of the B&W that i liked best. but didn't know if the mood was too "dark". is it? i misspoke...the sale is final...just don't have the check in my grubby hands yet. lol
