This is a wonderful picture, Bill, it really earned the Blue Ribbon as it is such a cute, clever idea and turned out so well. Congratulations on your first ribbon, it is an honor for me to share the top three of this challenge with you.

Very nice picture for black and white, really shows off the shadows and form of this church. It is a little low in contrast and more adjustment of the levels by making the highlights lighter and the shadows a bit darker might have really made this picture stand out in black and white.

Your picture is really well composed. It just doesn't have enough contrast to make it stand out as a black and white picture. Everything is about the same shade of gray. I think perhaps if you would have adjusted the levels more and made the highlights lighter and the shadows darker it would have really sprung to life as a black and white photograph.

This reminds me of my two year old grandson! It is a good picture that really puts across a mood, it is well focused and compsed. To me, though, it just doesn't seem meant to be black and white.

Your picture is well focused and composed but It doesn't really translate well into black and white and tends to look busy with no real center of interest.

Very nice. Perhaps just a bit light.

Your picture is nice and clear. However, it isn't really the sort of picture that is better in black and white than in color.

This is just the right sort of picture for black and white! It is a bit small and might have been more pleasing to the eye if there had been more sky left on top of the gree and to the right of the tree so the whole picture followed more closely the rule of thirds.
