Post your best Black and White Photo

Nice bokeh in the first one Dave and I like the minimilism of the cards... tells a story.

Some people have said this could be a selfie, but I'll let you make your own mind up.

Steve and Denise, those images really highlight the expressions of dogs....amazing. Those clouds hanging onto those peaks are incredible Tounis.

Here are a couple from me:

Turned a couple shots black and white. I couldn't decide if color or BW worked better for these.

A couple 100mm walk around images where I thought the shapes lended themselves well to black and white. I also have color versions for each.

Impressive BW photographs. I really enjoyed looking at each photo as they have a real individuality and feeling to it. Thanks for sharing these. Here are my shots.
