As an incredible photograph this is one of my three favorites, but gave it a lower rating due to the fact that I feel the sepia treatment edges it out of the spirit of the challenge -- black and white. I think it would have been just as delicately beautiful and powerful in black and white.
I'm not sure how to score a sepia image in a black and white challenge with a description of:
"Reduce the world to a palette of grays, and focus on light, shade, line, texture and form."
I'll be back.
FYI, warmly toned b&w is still b&w.
I disagree. I think Black and White is black and white... not any shade of yellow or red... or anything other than pure black and pure white... and lesser degrees of those to give the tones.
In a Monochromatic challenge... or Duotone challenge ... this would definitely work.
