Great entry John! Love the high contrast. Really brought out the reflections and detail in the wet bricks, not to mention the added drama. Nice work!

Love the rich blacks and the shine on the cobblestone. Nice entry.

On question: Is she eating a baguette?

Hello Mike, thank you!
I really love black and white photography; it often allows us to send a much clearer message, like the wet sidewalk in this case, without the distracting bright green traffic lights�

Hi John,

I love the contrasty B + W conversion and the strong leading lines. Great entry. Good luck this week.

A modern day noir shot. I love the contrast and B&W. I like the composition of moody lighting with a whimsical figure.

A great capture,
Chad

Grrr!!!!! You make me hungry!

Nice capture. I am a big fan of black and white, I guess you can say its my current PostProcessing tendency right now. I go through phases.

Yet another fantastic shot, John, my friend! Everything from the DOF, to the background, to the B & W conversion is great!

. This'll be in the finals because it is perfect for the WA!

Fond regards,

Endre

Being so dark and with everything wet, it was easy to get a contrasting picture Steve, thanks.
