This is a VERY BRAVE photo to enter into a challenge called "Black and White Portrait"! THAT along with the fact that the OTHER attributes of this photo are bang on! ... I have to give you a 10. I hope other voters "get it" too.

maybe you were contrasting black skin against white beard but.....not my idea of a B&W, sorry.

Nice clarity, but your use of the concept, though "clever," just doesn't cut it. Sorry.

I like your interpretation of the challenge theme. It is true that it did not really state that the photo HAD to be black and white. However, I think it would have been neat to see it in black and white, to compensate for the loss of some detail on the right side of the face - maybe it would have created some mood lighting there. lol

This is a very unique compostion, but I have to say that the odd array of colors leaves me feeling "empty"--for lack of a better word. It's like my eye tries too hard to figure out what is the point of focus in this piece. I also realize that the assortment of blue tones in the subject on the left is part of what makes this piece. My suggestion: selectively desaturate to retain the blues in the left subject, then get grayscales for the rest and increase the contrast. You might disagree, of course. I'm just trying to sympathize with what you're going for here.

Come on. We all know what is meant be B+W. Don't think this meets the challenge
