Wow just WOW! I think as soon as i saw this i knew it would be top 10 if not the winner, it's a stunning shot and works amazing in Monochrome, the timing is spot on and it's just a beautiful image, one of the best nature images I have ever seen.

I really love this shot and it was so close to a top 10 finish, the only thing that stopped it placing higher are the highlights on the bear are slightly blown out, especially around the ear and nose. still you did a great job and should be super proud

I really love this shot, not quite enough to place it top 10 but i love the unusual angle and the way the framing of the metal bars lead to the bike, however i feel the space to the left is not needed and the drain cover a little distracting, a square crop would have seen a higher placing.

Out of all the portraits entered I kept coming back to this one, lovely and sharp where it should be and I love the expression and character in his face. I love the titled angle of the shot, well done.

Wow this is just lovely, very unusual and nice and sharp, i love the composition and the toning effect and I just can't stop looking at this imagine, full marks for creativity and coming up with something very different, great shot.

The subject can be anything, but show me some awesome Monochrome images - get the focus, exposure and composition right and don't over-process. Images that show something different and creative will do well. The definition of Monochrome is here: "For an image, the term monochrome is usually taken to mean the same as black and white or, more likely, grayscale, but may also be used to refer to other combinations containing only tones of a single colour, such as green-and-white or green-and-black"
