I took this picture about three years ago on a camping trip in Eastern Oregon.
We took the guns out to a gravel pit to do some target shooting.
I love how the black and white makes it look rugged and really brings out the contrast.
He didn't know I was taking the picture, which makes it even better because it wasn't posed. I think those are the best kinds of pictures.
The mountains also make for a great background.
I love my cowboy. I love you Trevor!

Love this picture...you are right contrast is great in B&W. You got yourself a cute cowboy alright! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
I miss Oregon!! great photo and like you I love how black and white can bring out the contrast and the rugged back grounds. Cowboys are the BEST!
What a coo shot. So different. I love the texture in here. Feel like I can just reach out and touch the gravel.
Well done!

Great shot! Very ruggid and manly!
that is a great picture! such concentration, thanks for posting! happy valentine's day :-)
Love it! I also love taking pictures that are totally natural and unposed. You really capture people's personality and emotion that way.
Your cowboy is SO cute Katie! Love this in black and white! I think it looks awesome. It might even look cooler if you cropped out the lawn chair. It would give it more of an old west feel! Very nice! Hope you guys have a wonderful Valentines Day!
Nice shot. Love the texture of the pebbles on the ground too.
:)
This is a wonderful picture and it is extra cool that he didn't really know you were taking it.
I love how you can see details like his eyelashes, the pebbles, the reflection on the scope, etc., etc.
Great job!

Great shot!!! I agree candid's are the BEST!!!!!
Beautiful black and white, it brings out the texture so well.

Great shot! I love the contrast and the textures you pulled out here. And I'm a fan of candids myself...

And your photos are making me miss northern California. My dh went to UC Davis for his PhD so we lived out there for a few years... miss it!!
Thanks for you sweet comment.

Ah, you were right in choosing this photo. It does very rugged and natural as a black and white. :)
this is a fun picture & I think it looks great as a B&W ... the dark contrast of his clothes & the texture of the rocks looks great!
I LOVE me some target shooting! (seriously -- I love it!).
