VOTE - B&W Photo Challenge #55

[Larry L]

Black and White Challenge #55 is closed for entries, finalists have been selected, and it is time to vote!

This round’s theme was Group f/64, which trued to “present the camera’s vision as clearly as possible” or "transcribe the exact features of what was before the camera”. I was a little worried proposing this theme, afraid that people wouldn’t grasp the concept, or be inspired by it. But we had 28 entries from 14 photographers, which is about average (looking at the last 7 rounds). And what wonderful entries!!! I really enjoyed everybody’s entries, THANKS to all for playing along!
Challenge explained here:

Of course, the flip side is that I had to pick the finalists. Which means that a lot of those wonderful photos didn’t get chosen. I simply couldn’t narrow to 5, so I went with 6, but I really wanted to pick 8 or 10! I’m sad for that, but it is the way of the game, right?
all entries can be seen here:

Anyway, enough pontificating, here’s the finalists, in random order. Vote by entering the number of the photo you choose in the comments. I’ll leave voting open through Saturday, 8/15
