These submissions are terrific – in the sense that they terrify new-bees. I like moment capture in most….and B@w is B@w.

I find BW to be the most challenging and therefore the most gratifying to create. Sometimes color can make an image more appealing if the hues and tones somehow resonate with the viewer. (I’ve definitely experienced this on many occasions). In this way, the composition and potentially the message of the image is ignored. The true test (IMO) is how well an image stands up without color.

My humble contribution:

Beautiful! Classical and simple yet so perfect. B/W might be monochromatic but they are still very catchy. I really adore Black and White photos. They are truly inspiring.
Thanks for sharing.

I love that SO MANY people here are critical of B&W Photography while their B&W Photography is either utter shit or non-existent. Most people criticizing this work have no concept of composition or story-telling. Everybody’s a critic, huh? I am talking to you Jeff Conklin (http://www.jeffconklin.com/) and Julian Hebbrecht (http://julianht.smugmug.com). Your work is simple and uninspiring at best. Work on your own craft before criticizing others please.

And, Jeff C., B&W is a TRUE art form and most people who dislike are people who cannot create good B&W photographs and lack the talent themselves. It takes a true artist to create stunning and compelling B&W like what is seen here (the majority of what is seen here. Some are just OK but others are incredible).

My $.02.

I am curious as to why so many of these “picks” are blatant Photoshops. Just curious, so no flames. Because I’m color blind, I find that I love to do black and white. Some of these shots are remarkable. But some are very good (or not) Photoshops.
