Out Of the Dark (in black and white)

The chair. Very well done and so close to win, but at the end I had to choose. Another photo showing the simplicity of an excellent well-done work and good black and white conversion. I love these kinds of attics where the light is falling in illuminating just parts. Excellent work.

This was my third choice and I just can say very close to the top. Excellent scene and composition. You were thinking much about this one and I am just wondering how many shots you took, excellent and stunning work with a lot of creativity. Well done.

I love mushrooms and I go for them since 35 years. I know that it is not easy to present them in black and white, something I failed so many times myself. Very well done and converted. Out of the dark like the theme. Good work, well done.

Lovely portrait and when I was first looking at the thumbnails for my first choice I thought that this could be the winning one. Excellent expression and black and white conversion. I would have wished to see a bit of more sharpening on the left eye and less highlights on the skin. Keep on going with this Modell. Excellent work.

Just at the end of my choice, I changed my mind and added your photo from commended to the top ten. I think this creativity needs to be honored. I love the artistic concept. Well converted to black and white. Excellent work, well done.

I just love it how you shot these hands. This photo is showing mystery to me. Good concept and well converted to black and white. Excellent work with a lot of creativity. Al little smoke above the cigarette would have done it even better. Well done.
