There are some pics which need colour......those red, gold and russet fallen leaves would not have the same impact in mono.....the picture that you took with the ladybirds is of that nature too.....it is the surprise that the splash of red gives.

Dave you have a great handle on this photography lark. You just keep on doing what you do.....you bring happiness to those who don't get to the places you can get to......and if ever you can't get out and about(heaven forbid!) you have some wonderful pics to entertain you!
I couldn't have said it better, Margaret
