This is an awesome photograph that captures a great scene. I love their very indivdual expressions. Technically very good too although there are a few dark smudges (clouds?) above them on my monitor at least which stop it being a 10. Still a 9 and I'd love to see this on a poster. Well done and good luck for the rest of the challenge.

Hope they didn't had to pose too long. They look as having it very, very cold. Beautiful B&W with the black clothes on the white snow.

Penguins. This image is so cool as it makes you stop and wonder what they are doing there. I think I remember the original.

Perfect B&W conversion along with lighting. The contrast is great imo and the different facial expressions add to the shot. Very little in the picture to distract from the subject(s). Well Captured and deserves a bump-up. Congrats on a nice photograph.

So Cole, is this the same bench you got you lovely wife to help you lug all the way out to your tree in your Grief shot? If so, don't you think it's time to get one that's a little lighter?

I always thought this was a fantastic image and it's nice to see that you entered it into this challenge, I'm sure it will do well.

You must have a popular guy that day, it looks mighty cold on that bench.

All the best to you and yours.

MAX!

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. The B&W treatment is absolutely wonderful! The thing that stands out most to me is their expressions and how they are all bundled up. They are absolutely freezing in that cold chilly wintery wind! I can feel the cold just by looking at these three. The 'nun' on the far right is none too happy and actually looks as if her teeth are going to chatter in the next second. I can't decide between two different interpretations of what her expression says. The first impression is that she is freezing and her teeth ARE chattering. The other expression is of impatience...'hurry up and take the bleeding shot!' perhaps?:-) The possible story of why these three nuns are out in the cold has me wondering why ARE they there. Perhaps they are doing penance....Perhaps the cold is symbolic of the fact that they are doubting their religion and have been left 'cold' with no answers but only more questions...the story possibilities are endless.

A classically good photograph. Or maybe I mean a good classical photograph. It's damn good (oops .. sorry, Sisters) either way. 8.
