Animals in Black and White

Wow this is amazing! So good and very underrated in the crowd voting without a doubt.!

Reflections really take a picture to the next level and the reflection in this picture is brilliant. Works perfectly in Black and white and Would look great on canvas. Well done..

To get a picture of such a rare animal like that is amazing!

Very dramatic! Great skill and timing to get that shot! Nice!

Personally I think it would look even better if you completely black out the background, it would make the Owl stand out even more.

Great picture. I just feel this needs to be in colour. B&W definitely doesn't do it justice.

Brilliant shot! This is not the kind of picture you can just snap on a phone while your out and about for a little walk. That's the kind of picture that takes patience and dedication! Respect to that!!! Personally I would edit out the rabbit on the left and just leave the rabbit in the middle. Then it would become more of a focal point... (but that's just me).

This contest was so hard to judge! Many great pictures!

Great picture! Great contrast. I can see that on a canvas!

Lots of good zebra pics in this contest, tough to stand out, but that's a nice one.

The artistry and feel about this picture is very cool! Almost human...

Wow!!! Loads of Zebra pictures in this contest but for me, this was the best one! Absolutely amazing! Love the lighting!! Such a good B&W. How did this did not do better in crowd voting, i do not know!?

Great picture! I can definitely imagine that on a canvas! Such a good reflection and so artistic. I can imagine in colour it looking a bit dull, but in B&W, "Boom!" Love it.

(To make it even better, personally I would edit out the small piece of grass in the top left.)

WOW! Just wow! This is stunning, for me its a clear winner. Its on another level.! How did you manage to take this Image? The contrast between B&W, the drama, the textures, the detail its all perfect. This picture needs to be on a very big canvas in a gallery somewhere! Its that good!

Not everyone will like jellyfish and this picture will not be to everyones taste, but where was this in the crowd voting? Who ever did not give this full marks, seriously needs to think about how they vote.

Very mysterious! Great picture! Well done. This contest was so hard to judge as there were so many excellent pictures

Such a great image. And VERY VERY underrated. Many people will look at this and not see anything special. But i really appreciate the skill that takes to make everything look like its moving, apart from the birds body. Thats skillful and probably a lot of trial and error. Love it!

Great picture! Thats dedication right there! Well done. Anyone who doesn't think that this is worthy of being rated so highly needs to read the image details. (This is not just someones pet rabbit!)

Big respect to you 👏

This is so so good! I love the darkness and subtle light in this picture, very cool and mysterious! To get this picture of a dragonfly (which do not stay still for long), Well done!

There were so many pictures in this contest that should have done so much better in the crowd vote and this is 100% one of them!!

Thats skill on display right there and it looks great!

Great picture! Well done.. I love the contrast between B & W.

This contest was so hard to judge as there were so many excellent pictures

Very mysterious! Great picture! Well done.. The lighting is so good! Just goes to show that a photo contest like this one is not about taking a picture of the most impressive animal such as a lion! But rather it's about skill and technique, even a picture of a humble dog can look amazing!

Great picture. Great quality! Got to love the expression his it's face!

Such a great picture!!! And that would gave taken a great deal of patience. I love squirrels, but i just feel it probably looks better in colour. I wanna see that red! :-)

Just Wow!!!! Great picture! Another picture that clearly took a lot of patience to get. Respect!

Sooo many good pictures in this contest.

Everything about this picture is so good! Very very underrated in the crowd vote! Great composition, and contrast between B&W. I love it!

To get a picture of a wild fox as good as that takes dedication!

Brilliant! The best horse picture in this contest.

B&W is all about getting that contrast and this has got it! The lighting is so good! Very skillful!

Great picture! Well done.. So many good entries in this contest!

You must have a VERY good camera! Great picture! Well done..

This is the kind of picture that wont be to everyones taste, but it looks cool nonetheless!!

Great picture! Its simple composition works so well. Really really good. I could imagine this on canvas! Well done! I love the contrast between B & W.

So many excellent cat pictures in this contest but this one stood out to me!

Great picture! A lot of skill in this image! Well done.. I love the contrast and the lighting is great. A good example of how something quite simple such as a dog can look so good in B&W

There were lots of excelent pictures just like this one, but yours stood out.

Great picture! Well done.. I love the contrast between B & W. Very good quality image aswell.

Great picture! I really like the simplicity. Zebras are great in B & W.! Also a very sharp image.

In this contest there were so many really good pictures of Zebras. The simplicity of this one stood out. Nice!

Another very underrated picture in the crowd voting! Picture of a wild Hare, that's hard to do!! And you got it looking straight at the camera! Big Respect!

Great picture! The lighting is SOOOO good! Well done.. I love the contrast between B & W.

Another good example of the correct use of B&W. Many pictures of dogs in this contest. But the quality, lighting and simple composition of this picture really stood out to me.

Great picture! Well done.. for me B&W photography is all about getting a good contrast (of course there are always exceptions to the rule). But I love the contrast of this picture.

So hard to judge this contest! Many great monkey / ape / chimp pictures. But I really liked this one...
