I took this picture of Benson quite a while ago. I just ran across it again today.
Since it wasn't a particularly good picture I thought I try grayscale in lightroom. This is all new to me. The only B&W I ever did was with film.

In color.

I remember that a lot of my grandmothers old photos had a violet cast to them so I tried this. Remember I have no idea what I am doing here. I think I failed miserably on this one.

Although the background is messy, I like the color one best, Ron. The horse & its hair don't stand out enough from the ground in the B&W. I agree with you fully that Benson was never meant to be a pink horse :) Lovely pictures of a lovely horse.
