Maybe just a TOUCH stronger 
That's a beautiful shot, though
Black - Photography Contest [83 entries]
Contest goal:
We had a white contest, now it's time for black. So take a shot where the focus is on the color black. It might be anything, as long as the color black is the main color in your shot. Good luck.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

karaflazz: Hmmmm....... ( 5 years and 3173 days ago )
kyricom: I assume you mean the focal point is black, and not just a shot of something with a black background? ( 5 years and 3173 days ago )
rbsgrl: Sounds that way to me kyricom. ( 5 years and 3172 days ago )
rbsgrl: As clear as the theme seems to me, there are shots posted that have no black in them. ( 5 years and 3172 days ago )
EmiK: What I had in mind is that you capture as much black in a creative way as possible. The black doesn't have to take up the whole picture, but it definitely should be the main focus. Just like the white contest but the opposite. Also Mods, are B&W pictures allowed, because what thought was a color shot of black, not B&W, otherwise it would be easy to turn a lot of things in to black. But I leave that up to you.

I have a few accidental macro shots of the inside of my lens cap, think this counts? ( 5 years and 3171 days ago )

friiskiwi: We seem to be getting a few Black and white photos, surely that is off theme? ( 5 years and 3171 days ago )
ibmaxed: I agree friskiwi, it is off theme. ( 5 years and 3171 days ago )
kyricom: Yes, it does seem like a significant number of entries are B&W. Can we get some kind of ruling as to whether or not that's ok, mod? Does seem to significantly change the "flavor" of the contest ( 5 years and 3170 days ago )
rbsgrl: Yes, mods please. Is B&W okay or not? I am holding my votes on them. ( 5 years and 3169 days ago )
friiskiwi: "It might be anything, as long as the color black is the main color in your shot. "
this to me makes it pretty clear that it has to be a COLOUR photo, not a black and white. However I do feel a ruling is required. ( 5 years and 3169 days ago )

kyricom: I'm with friiskiwi ( 5 years and 3169 days ago )
friiskiwi: I still feel it should be a colour photograph, but after looking at the 'White' contest' http://www.pxleyes.com/photography-contest/14601/white.html
I'm not so sure. 5 of the winning 7 photos are black/white. Doesn't seem right to me, but then I'm often wrong. ( 5 years and 3169 days ago )

Contest Moderator: Being that the White contest allowed B&W photos I see no reason to deem them off topic in this contest, the guidelines do not specifically prohibit them. ( 5 years and 3167 days ago )
jawshoewhah: I think silhouettes are a little too easy for any of the black entries. IMO, keeping the contest in color wouldn't have been a bad idea either.
I also don't have any problem with black and white in photos. I think a white background would better accent a black subject but it seems with some of these entries, the main subject isn't black and only the surroundings are black. I don't really see how those are on theme but once again, IMO......

I so agree, suddenly we seem to be getting a lot of them, I feel that was not what was expected. Please MODS, deem then off topic. ( 5 years and 3165 days ago )

kyricom: yep, like they said ( 5 years and 3165 days ago )
Contest Moderator: Because it was not expected does not automatically deem it off topic...I'm sorry members....but I have to disagree with you here....a main subject of black is what the guidelines call for and a silhouette fulfills these requirements... ( 5 years and 3163 days ago )
CrystleClear: shows you how ppl get away with murder on here.. ( 5 years and 3163 days ago )
CrystleClear: mod, please do take note that silhouettes are people or animals that are in a shadow of some sort and black is not the main focus, because unless the person is a grim reaper or a demon and is an all black figure, it is technically not a "black" focus ( 5 years and 3163 days ago )
CrystleClear: ^ imo ( 5 years and 3163 days ago )
friiskiwi: Have to admit, I'm pleased that only one black/white photo and no silhouettes were in the top 7. Good voting. ( 5 years and 3162 days ago )
