Monochrome Mini Competition #41

[arith]

Here's how it works ...

- You good folks post MONOCHROME images in the thread (please change your post title to a name for your picture) (Click the "Go Advanced" button)

- When we get 10 images we will attach a voting poll

- After 3 days the poll closes and the winner is declared!

- If you would especially like some critique after the competition poll closes, please make it known in the post

Too easy eh?

Limit of 1 image per post, and 2 image posts per person.

If there are already 10 in the current comp, please start a new thread.

I'm amazed at the quality of shots here. They are all good.

Getting too good, actually in the past there was black and white, that's it. Everything else since is a bit wotsit, like what sat, I can't work it out. You have a very atmospheric shot; but I would have like a lot more detail in the forground, a lot I mean a lot, then obviously blurred insignificant background. What I need is sharp detail in the forground cos you can, and then the gradient rather severe in the background.

Shot today. Summer has nearly gone. Switched the central-heating on today.

Wow, that went quick, and look at the shots here. They are all soooo good and that's an understatement.
Keep up the good work here

Well donE, John. An excellent shot. Had she just fallen?

[Clactonian]

There is so much to admire in this image. The guy's white outfit and umbrella, contrasting with the lady's darker outfit; the juxtaposition of the pair; the position of the umbrella; the rain. It could be posed. Was it?

Congrats John. When I first saw this shot I thought talk about being in the right place at the right time, and then having the skill to get the shot so perfectly. It did not occur to me that it might be staged but it could not have been any better if it had been.
It really is a great shot for all the reasons Mike mentioned. I still don't think it was staged, but it's sooo good it looks like it could have been

I am still trying to work out who nicked meercat.com's smoking jacket. Very deserving winner John. One in a million shot and beautifully captured
