Favorite B&W photo - Week of January 26th to February 1st

[Paul Myers]

This is a B&W thread - for B&W photography where B&W is the main mode. Selective coloring is OK, Sepia is OK, but the images in this thread should mainly be monotone.

What's your favorite B&W photo from this past week? Share with us what you took this week. Please post only one B&W photo you took. Didn't take a B&W this week? That's OK. Post a B&W from someone else's project that you really fell in love with this week.

Find the B&W you want to share and then copy and paste the code into a reply. You'll find the code below the Facebook and Twitter buttons on the right hand column of that photo.

I had a really good week with B&W I felt so the choice was tough this week, but I'm going to go with this one from last Saturday's photo walk in Chinatown in downtown Los Angeles.

I love this thread because I adore black and white images.

[Lisabell]

I was never into black and white, but I’m taking a b&w course online, and it’s making me view it entirely differently.

[Jim]

It's my only b/w so I guess it will have to do

[Wendy Bowden]

[Simon]

[Sandi]

Here's mine. Bit of a cheat because I reversed the colors for a river shot, but I love the affect!

[Ben Fahrbach]

This was my only B&W which I almost posted the color version of instead... but I liked the B&W just a bit better.

[Murray]

[Amy]

[Paul Godfrey]

[Anwan]

My only one this week. I'm torn on whether B&W is best or if I should have left it in color.
(This is my first time trying to copy and paste the code, apologies in advance if it goes wrong!)

The only one I took -- this has been a really tough week for inspiration for me.

[Carole Imes]

This was REALLY a tough choice this past week. I rarely fav b & ws, but this wk I fav'd 5 and it was really difficult to choose among them. Then just spotted this one today by @lindag and that cinched it!

[Anne]

I've only managed to post 2 pictures this week - problems downloading to PC - and both of those were b&w. This one is my favourite of the 2 - because it is "my" tree !

I had a very b&w week for me which made it tougher to pick. I think that I went the right route with selective coloring with this one verses full color.

[dh (delena)]

I only took one b&w this week. So it has to be this one.
