Wow and congratulations. If I had voted on any of the B/W photos I would have given this a 10. I wish I had. I love this shot. I especially love this shot since it was taken with the same camera I have. I hope one day I will have a shot that is as good as yours.

Like this one best of the ribbon winners, very "old school" feel I get from it, like it could have been taken during the turn of the last century, nice work! Went to my faves.
Post actions
this is outstanding I'm so jealous that I didn't take this photo
Post actions
The other two ribbons would have been more or less as good in colour. Monochrome makes this one. Shoulda won.

My favorite of the challenge. This is a wonderful study in B&W, very film-like. The textures and grain are perfect and the composition has a great leading line. It draws my eye straight through with chapel anchoring the scene. I gave it a 9 but after studying this more, I have to bump to a 10.
Post actions
Great composition and contrast!
Post actions
I gave this a 9 on my first voting run through, but I am raising it to a 10 - I can find nothing that I would change, or that I wish had been done just that little bit better - Perfect.
Post actions
I love all the speckles. 7
