I would like to see your photos which are basically black in colour. Other colours may be present but must not overwhelm the dominant colour of black. The subject matter is left up to your choice. Creativity and new images will be appreciated.

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. Basically black has been used to it;s full potential in this image which is impressive in nature. The usage of a slight touch of rim lighting around the subject at hand clearly indicates the man's profile- a difficult task to accomplish. Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The play on blacks is used in an excellent fashion with the splash of colour adding a point of interest to the image. Although dark in nature the clarity of the subject at hand is still clearly visible. Once again the play on light and shadows has been used to it's fullest potential.Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The play on basically black is well portrayed in this dark image. This, however, does not distract from the point of interest at hand- the horse. The slight rim lighting and play on shadows is used in an effective fashion. Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The appeal in this image lies in it's abstract yet creative nature. This is a simple image once again proving the theory that less is more The perfect play on light and shadow is further enhanced by the colour splash of the yolk.- this tends to draw the viewer in but does not distract from the main topic at hand- basically black- Congrats and well done!

Firstly, thank you for entering my challenge. The beautiful portrait has one not only spellbound but mesmerized with the play on the colour black. The clarity is perfect and one can actually feel the shaggy ears as portrayed. The eyes also tend to have a certain appeal drawing one into the image and making you linger for longer than usual. Congrats and well done!
