A beautiful moment that you have captured well. it really captures the emotions of the two people as they say goodbye. The light and the shadow really isolate the subject which really enhances the photo and the love they share. Great work!

A beautiful use of light to isolate the subject and create a very striking image. It really works in black and white. The shape of the shadows really draw your eye in to the subject which further adds to the feeling of isolation. Well done!

A great use of light and shadows to create a striking and interesting shot. I love the top down view of the photo as it adds a unique perspective in the low sunlight. The subject is well isolated also which makes for a great photo. Well done!

A great shot that really captures the atmosphere of a station. Perfect use of a slow shutter speed which adds the horizontal lines.. Seeing some stationary people and some people moving adds a lot of life to the image. Well done!

This really captures the constant motion of London. The movement in the bus and the traffic add a lot of energy which is very true of central London. The light draws your eye to the people which is great. Well done on a great photo!

Brief

See more contest details

This contest is for your black and white street photos. Your photos should capture the essence of street photography through those everyday life moments that happen in public places. They may or may not feature people but they should capture real moments as they happen. Please only enter black and white photos.

A very striking image. I love the angles and reflection. The isolation of the single person really shows the scale of the interesting urban environment. The angles of the building work well in black and white. Well done on capturing a great moment!

Great photo that really captures the atmosphere of the moment. The lights and the fog really complement each other and draw attention to the people on the bikes. It's a beautiful capture of the night and the weather. Well done!

A lovely moment captured, well done. The depth of field is perfect to help isolate the subject. It's a very touching moments with a lot of emotion...and just the right amount of motion blur on the bird food to capture the energy of the moment. Good work.

A great use of the person to show the scale of the buildings. The high contrast really draws your eye to the person in the doorway, with nice lighting coming from the shop front to add some extra interest. Well done!
