Hi Tina The content is interesting enough without colour. Besides colour would probably be so intense it would take away from reading the content to discover he's climbing the tree in his bare feet! OUCH THAT MUST HURT! :-) Once again when it's interesting "content!" Do we always need colour to distract? Besides one must always keep the creed and motto in mind: :-) "REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOOT B&W! EAT SUSHI! AND DRINK SINGLE MALT SCOTCH!" :-) OR?............................. "When you photograph people in colour; you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W you photograph their souls'!" Keeping that in mind quite often eliminates the stress of... "Should I shoot colour? Or B&W?" The answer is obvious by following the code! ;-) After all you've proven it correct here! Thank you. :-) cheers, ted
