// Subtle Tones in a Grayscale world

-- Judges pick + some comments:

1 - Random square : 05 : demo bw by DecoyRobot by DecoyRobot:icondecoyrobot:

JaredPLNormand: "This composition reminded me of Aaron Siskind's work. He excelled at capturing compositions from the real world to make them holistic objects of art without allowing the viewer to consider the surrounding environment. Although not a direct inspiration on my own work, I do admire his achievement in becoming the most prominent photographer in the American Abstract Expressionist movement."


2 - Million Feet Away by khrisjuhlin by khrisjuhlin:iconkhrisjuhlin:

inacom: "Flawless composition, great variety of tones and a lot of interesting details."


3 - :thumb127257899: by Mizz-Peaches:iconmizz-peaches:

rjopal: "This one shows really good use of tones, which many other failed to do."
Demodocus: "I chose this photograph because it represents the full-spectrum of black to white, with all the greys which fits this category perfectly. Combined with the swirls brings them all together."

// United at the Extremes

-- Judges pick + some comments:

1 - JUSTBLAZE by SKRURU by SKRURU:iconskruru:

Demodocus: "I really like the repeated shape and the balance of this photo. The photo manages to connect black and white through circular interesections and repetition. I am curious about how this was constructed and the artist gives little info. The composition could be a little more thoughtful, although I appreciate the feeling of artistic outpouring."
rjopal: "Very abstract. I wish there were more entries like this one!"


2 - Cortando la nada by INKOGNITHA by INKOGNITHA:iconinkognitha:

Demodocus: "I have no accurate explanation of this photo other that that it is simply enchanting. The balance between black and white is perfect and the unique lines that are created are stunning. My ratings are high because I have never seen this before and I love the asymmetry that brings this two opposites together. Also, the title and the Spanish lyrics are very interesting and offer some "illumination"."
inacom: "An excellent example of extreme contrast, it can also bring the viewer to see different things in it - I see a bird's head :)"


3 - :thumb124110405: by Phaedrus-42:iconphaedrus-42:

JaredPLNormand: "Perfect. The only two things I can possibly consider flaws in the smallest sense are the bowed edge of the white space and the noticeable change in brightness from the edges toward the center. It is simple but sustains viewership. It is contrasty but right where it needs to be. It is gestural but completely controlled. This is undoubtedly my overall pick."
