Congratulations on your 7th ribbon! You should be so proud of what you have accomplished here recently on DPChallenge. This was one of my favorites for the week. I have yet to see anyone who can create top winning black and white pictures nearly every time you get a ribbon. Amazing work! Sharing the top 3 with you is an honor. Congratulations!
I like how the wall and bricks meet together to draw the eye into the picture. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but about halfway up, the bricks' pattern changes adn the eye is taken further to the right (at least mine is) on to the "back" of the picture. Very effective at moving the eyes around. Good use of bw.
I think this is my favorite. Many different lines, along with the leading ones. There is also a line taking me all the way up the street. Good tone with sepia and DOF 10
This is good. You made a good choice not to crop out that curve in the fence, it boosts this image so much. Black and white does a lot to this photo. This loos so much like Germany.
I have mixed feeling on this shot whether it meets the challenge or not. If the subject is the building then yes it does, but is that what you want me to look at?
I like it in b/w. Good luck. I am going to vote as I like it. Vote 7
this is beautiful--i love the variations of lines and textures--wonderful job in capturing the simplicity of the scene--the lines are so well done that i barely notice the playground in the left! great work!
You've got a lot of lines goin' on here ! The building, the fence, the "bricks", the tree, the playground equipment, and it all works together very well. Love the black and white. Nice work.
