Black is an achromatic "colour" that has many creative uses in photography. Not only are there a range of naturally and artificially occurring black subjects that make for compelling images, but black can also be used to accentuate and complement other shades. This is a theme with a great deal of creative potential, so let's see what you've got. Good luck!
