My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!

this is cool as I see a man dancing with a large bird in the shadows

Both are splendid images but this is the one for me. Very dramatic in b&w.

I somehow missed the first one so went and looked; this one is simply gorgeous. The light and shadows simply ROCK!!

This one has even more punch but the colour one has that 'afternoon at the beach' special feel to it.
giulband

B/W is always better, idk why, just is.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes this kind of image.

B&W IS the trend now, is it?! I love this!!

I prefer the colour version personally, but that's just me.

It looks just as good in B&W, Tara! Excellent!
adorety
Beautiful! This looks great in B&W.

I'm always amazed by the subtle mood change that B&W gives for an otherwise identical image. Loved the original, love this!

Amazing capture Tara. God bless.

zoom is a must here; the textures are more dramatic here than in the color piece (which has more richness due to those deep orange browns, but less drama to my eyes). The shadows are more present---and you not only have shadows from the little twigs/branches, but from striations in the ground itself. In black and white, these things become quite musical. And the twigs/branches have a luminous white---very nice work! I'm a huge fan of black and white, and I always love it when you do pics in black and white. A delicate and articulate closeup; and fine shadow and texture work all around.
