I'm very impressed with the sheer number of great entries this week! But of course there has to be winners. ### ## @sweetsssj ## # ======================================== # ### THE B&W PHOTO CONTEST IS KINDLY SPONSORED BY ### ### @papa-pepper ### ## THANK YOU! ## # ======================================== # ## 1st Place ~ @evildeathcore ## ![IMG_9181.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmazxTZZyt3ZatiGhaERWZuvM8T5L48xqyAD737SBNg3ah/IMG_9181.PNG) #### This picture really stood out to me because I think black and white pictures should not just be a coloured photo turned to black and white. The photo in black and white should look better than in colour! This picture was very chilling! I love the desolate look of it which is perfectly complemented by the black and white. #### # ======================================== # ## 2nd Place ~ @kuenok ## ![IMG_9182.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmPyQPjXZsXGy7BKKUuV5V8a3o4qdkycmR8zbQPZBX2QMZ/IMG_9182.PNG) #### I really loved the spirit of this picture, both the photo subjects are captured still frame in time and I can only imagine how many outtakes this picture was chosen from. How amazing the backdrop is the Egyptian pyramids! #### # ======================================== # ## 3rd Place ~ @andesign ## ![IMG_9183.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUhS3c1GAevz9iu4ok2tAbZyCfi6j89oC6zVKHz6Hapm1/IMG_9183.PNG) #### Finally, this is the picture which I felt could not be in anything but black and white. Instantly recognizable and yet so simplistic. Love it! #### # Congratulations to all Winners! # # ======================================== # ## New Theme Announcement coming Soon! ## # ======================================== # ### https://s2.postimg.org/fdsqfstl5/IMG_5462.jpg ### *** ### ![IMG_1588.JPG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmNPEFPyaRDKxayRA9Zg9cpLRS3ZYUfB4uktMqJSRvvJ73/IMG_1588.JPG) ### #### Thanks to @papa-pepper for creating these logos for @daveks! #### *** ***
