Although the frame in the picture bothers me a bit, this is my final choice for a first place for this excellent work presented in my contest. The slightly grainy image shines and the light gradient from light to dark as well as the model's pose stands out. Congratulations for your work and first place.

Very well done "through a window" shot with all these reflections. Another fine classic film noir photo representing a decade that has long passed since. The window acts as frame and the view goes to the female looking for something. Congratulations for a 4th place in my contest.

There's something exciting about the simplicity of this photo and we don't know what it's about. This is further enhanced by the noise in the image, very nicely done. A slightly different film noir photo. Welcome to the top ten selection in my contest.

A very classic scene representing this decade and film noir. A travel back in time to those days live has been very different. Excellently worked out with the model, great actor, and very fine light with great shadows. Perfect black and white conversion. Congratulations for a second place in my contest.

I am looking for your black and white photos showing your interpretation of film noir storytelling. Film noir photos are images characterised by their use of shapes, shadows and chiaroscuro lighting, a common genre in the 1940s and 1950s. <b>Please note: Monochrome colour toning, such as sepia, is allowed in black and white contests, although entrants are encouraged to keep any colour toning subtle.</b>
