    Some subjects simply beg for B&W. Of course, these particular subjects beg for nuts even more. :)

    Jovita, Reflection is a lovely photo with a very peaceful mood. Also, I love autumn leaves in black and white.

    Aaron, I think A Moment in Time is one of my favorites. I love the lighting.

    Rhommel, those are a couple of outstanding portraits, but Amanda is just beautiful. In the photo, and in real life I'm sure.

    Peterst6906, your abstract stairs are so eye-catching.

    Aaron Newman, Shine On brings back some real memories from earlier this year.

    Craig, your infared shots are amazing. Modifying your camera was a wise move on your part. You have an eye for infared.

    Richtersl, Dismal Day is such a moody shot. Would make a great wall mural.

    SciurusNiger, the catchlight in the squirrel's eye in both shots really draw me in.

    Too many wonderful photos in this gallery. This is a thread that will be nice to visit again and again, like a museum. There will always be something new that stands out, even after the posting closes.

    This thread is longer than a year without a camera. The heap of better than good shots in here is mountain high by now. thumb.gif

    I wonder if Smugmug could be persuaded to host a gallery of the mini challenges. Not all, but say those pictures mentioned by our judges.

    Dave, I do not envy your position, first runner up in the fifth seems perfect about now :D

    What a bunch of great shots.
    It seems that a lot of folks still like taking/converting their shots in B&W.
    I have to admit that I didn't think that this MC would get this much attention.eek7.gif

    But it's great to have the Challenge forum getting back into the swing of things.:D

    You folks have about 24 hours to get your shots in.
    Then I'm going to need a few hours on Saturday to go though all of these.

    That's it for now, later.

    You're only as good as your next photo....
    One day, I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation...I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me." Truman Capote

    I'm not sure what happened to your shots.
    I was able to see them yesterday if I right clicked the box and opened it in a new window.
    Today I get nothing.

    Did you move these shots around in your smugmug site?
    Normally that's what goofs up the link.
