It was between Johny1 and PC's.

I went for Johnny's because... well, I dunno really. It's just got a certain "captured" quality about it. Possibly the guy mid-drag of his fag. Nice shot.
 
HisNameIsFrank - Stunning pic.

Reminded me of this as well:

Loved Alasdairs & IAMTHOUGHTS :)
 
I went with Frizzantik.

The way I see it the topic was Black and white. Not fancy photos. And from that point of view, frizz was the only one to really meet that in my opinion.
 
I'll take the blame for missing the oversized image this round. I made a point of looking up the properties of every image submitted and didn't notice anything wrong. Must have been the damned browser resizing. I should have caught it with plenty of time for the OP to have a chance to correct it.

HNIF's image now edited/resized.

Let's keep an eye on those rules, please gang. I'm still catching one or more size violations per round behind the curtains (and missing some too, as witnessed).

Thanks.
 
triablgirl gets my vote...that shot is so in your face :)
 
QuestionEverything said:
To me Black & White = colorless. :\


I cant argue with that.

Same as you cant argue with what I thought.

And thats why I love the contest so much cos its totally up to your own impression.


I was planning on taking a photo of one of those checkerboard floors.........like this.....

but with a tiny red rose in the middle somewhere.

cheers :) btw if you didn't see in the other thread, the picture was taken like that by the camera - there was no post processing to convert it to two-tone.

And I tend to agree with your sentiments regarding the theme; it's kinda a shame so many people interpreted the theme in the same way -- specifically that black & white meant 'gray scale'. Obviously not every camera has the feature mine has to take pics in just black and white but gray scale pics with more emphasis on contrast, or even color photos of black and white objects would have been interesting

that being said i voted for plurredchemistry.. i liked the way only a bit of it's in focus and the retro styling makes it seem like it should be in an old school black and white photo :)
 
to be fair, the phrase "black & white" has had the same (less than literal) meaning in photography since photography began...
