    How unusual to take a photo like this. Perfect for B&W.

    Personally I don't think it's an unusual shot, it's a glorious shot! And I agree it's great in black & white. Very powerful shot, Yolanda.

    Thanks all for the comments! It was unusual in that it's something you don't see every day. Thanks to the help of my telephoto zoom, I was able to capture the baptism ritual and dunking from a distance. They were among other bathers and row-boaters having a nice day on the Detroit river shore, on Belle Isle, Detroit. Most definitely a unique sight to see!
