I just uploaded the colour version of this photo this morning. While scrolling down some photos here, I came to a black and white butterfly photo. I liked it, so on a whim, I processed this photo in black and white, and cropped it a bit. I had taken this photo with the main focus on the eye, leaving the wings a bit out of focus. So my question is, does it work this way, or would it be better if the wings were in focus too???
