The idea is simple: Create a composition using exclusively sources in black and white. Therefore, your creation should be in black and white as well. Note that it is not allowed to use coloured sources and then processing them with desaturate or anything alike. Remember that you have to post links to your sources to prove that they're originally monochromatic.
I would've liked to see a darker shadow closest to the insects legs, and the front right leg looks like it shouldn't be visible from the angle it's at. Other than that, nice looking entry. Good luck!

Disagree about the front leg, but took your suggestion about the shadows. Looks better.
IN ANCIENT TIMES, WHEN MAN DISAGREED WITH HIS WIFE OR PARTNER THEY WOULD MAKE A PILGRIMAGE TO THE MIGHTY HAND SO THEY COULD "TALK TO THE HAND" HENCE THE MODERN SAYING "TALK TO THE HAND"...TRUE STORY... (5 years and 2519 days ago)
Very good concept author, I would add a little more light at the left side of the hand, specially at the pulse it's so dark compared tot he strong light.
Simple cut & paste...snow on dark stripes on zebra rumps made by selecting dark areas and airbrushing with white in Dissolve mode, then blurring.
Then shadows of legs were added. (5 years and 2521 days ago)
Good idea and source finds. Some hoof prints would make this more convincing, along with some blending work at the point of their contact with the snow. Tweak on the Zebra's shading some too (check the brightness of highlights). Those are my idea's and suggestions, good luck.

Take a closer look. There are prints all over, and I'm satisfied with the blending.
nice
