Sorry, but this is one of those images that doesn't seem to work for me in B&W. As a B&W, I don't notice the bird at all. Even when I know it's there. In color, it is subtle, but noticeable. Maybe it is due to a direct Photoshop greyscale converstion from a color scan. This would have been a much more interesting post if you had presented it in its original color version.(posted 8602 days ago)
This would have been a much more interesting image if it had been shot with a fish eye with the bird dead center. That would have brought attention to the hard to see bird. The children would then be cheerfully playing "all around it"
