I love the B&W works I've seen by Shewolf. Just saw this blue ribbon winner from the state fair and wondered what qualifies as blue ribbon worthy to others.

Do you have a favorite B&W? What is it about the photo that you like?

[+1] - squinney - 10/31/2008Agree, Ceej. I had Ansel Adams in my dorm room... way back when. His work is classic.

@squinney,

My favorite is a black and white of my daughter when she was little.

@Region Philbis,

Ooh, that is striking.

I like the everyday, people doing normal things and the whimsical or odd moments. Geometric shots don't usually capture me unless they are minimalist or the lighting itself "speaks" as does this one.
