Searching 4 Inspiration Challenge: Black and White Challenge Results

Now the nominations are all in for the Searching 4 Inspiration Black and White challenge we can see what a fantastic set of images were submitted. Just about every image in the gallery got some nominations and there was no soar away leader. I think it is one of those times when everyone can feel positive about the outcomes.

The image that just edged it in terms of the most nominations was Round and Round by James Drury . This was very closely followed by a number of images - Riders on the Storm by Ian Johnston, Droplets Suspended in a Dandelion by Daniel Rice, Almondell by David Dunn and Spin the Wheel by P Morgan.

Droplets Suspended in a Dandelion by Daniel Rice

I love this photo. The beautiful soft tones of the dandelions with their gentle movement are complemented wonderfully by the few vivid droplets. The lighting is superb. Magical.

it is a stuuning image of a common subject that is so often overlooked.

Round & Round by James Drury

Strong subject matter combined with a great sky and light and a superb sense of movement make this a captivating photo.

while I wouldn't normally go for such high contrasts (personally) there is something about Round and Round by James Drury which I rather like:-)

oustanding in how it brings out emotions

Surf's Up by malc!

Lovely contrasts in this picture. The crashing waves boil as they break whilst the Windsurfer appears to be in an world of tranquility further out to sea.

Very dramatic shot
