Some Black & White Photos

I haven't participated in the Telus Photo Contest for a while because the themes were ones in which I didn't have anything to submit. For example, horses and stairs were the two latest ones. Anyway, this time the theme is black and white so I thought I'd submit the following photos. Just thought I'd share them you, readers, and have you let me know what you think of them. I have my favourite, but which is yours?

  1. I think the second from the top, with the Cypress tree, is my favorite. It has great energy with the light and dark shadows and the clean lines.

    I have a feeling that is your favorite too. :-)

  2. My favorite is the men sitting around. I was just at our Main Street Arts Festival today and saw lots of B&W photography for sale for big bucks. These look just as good as the ones I saw today.

  3. Without doubt the old guys sitting around. There is so much behind this photo I just want to know more about the subjects it feels as if they have life stories worth telling. I love this one.

  5. I love the first one. The iron fence lends perspective and atmosphere. But I love people shots and the old guys with papers upon that wonderful pavement is very special.
    Will you tell us where you took these?
