    there were some awesome images in here and some not so great ones - maybe its me but when i think of black and white i think of images that were MEANT to be in black and white not so much images that look great in colour too but over all i thought that people really put some thought into the submissions!!!

    Yes, there is a solid learning curve in converting an image to black and white and I think a lot of folks just assume a black and white is the same image in gray scale.

    Simple solution. I use Ilford HP5 for black and white "conversion"

    There were some great shots in here. I am not a fan of over processing for the sake of a "Weird" look. Overly photo-shopped skin and too much sharpening can also cause failure in an image. In my opinion. I am not saying I don't have some whoppers of my own but I try to limit clients requests whenever possible. I do so love the B&W's however. Great work everyone.
