This image won me over because of the sense of ennui that it exhibits. The technical aspects of lighting, posing and depth of field are superbly executed. A timeless, classic element is added with the black and white treatment. Congratulations on this iconic piece!

I love this image for the contradiction it displays; powerfulness and a studied indifference simultaneously. The pose and the styling of the subject work together to project this feeling. The black and white treatment works really well here to elevate this image. Well done!

Sensuality comes through in spades in this photograph. The subtle color palette really allows the mood of the image to dominate. Textures, composition and depth of field come together beautifully in this artwork. Congratulations!

For this viewer, the casual disinterest in the subject’s expression and in her pose makes this photograph a winner. The blowing hair about her face adds to this dynamic. At the same time, the subject’s fashionable attire and the black and white treatment give an elegant ambience and overall feel. Well done!

Brief

I would like to see your best photos that represent your idea of an iconic image. Iconic photos are unforgettable; they strike the viewer on a deep emotional level, such as grief, joy, heroism, etc. Such images are not easily repeated, but rather capture a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Photos can be in colour or black and white.
