a Pola moment
Going to be a hard one to judge this week 
What a fabulous image Robert, but unfortunately, it’s not black and white. Would you make it b&w and repost - I don’t want to lose it from the challenge.
Yes. The judge has all my sympathy. Who is that poor person? *runs off to have a look*Going to be a hard one to judge this week

Gorgeous
Such a clever image. Fantastic.
Cool!
chineezguy Michael’s wonderfully surreal, almost abstract image brings this Black and White Challenge to a CLOSE. It’s terse Ted’s job to choose his favourites from this magnificent collection. Whenever you feel up to the task Ted.
I was just about to post an image but got pipped at the post. Just as well though - great images this week. Difficult to beat one of these!
While we wait for The Judgement of Ted, start posting more of your fabulous black and whites here: https://mobitog.com/threads/new-136-black-white-challenge.23866/
There’s always the new challenge Ann. Looking forward to seeing it there.
This is wonderful!
There were lots of excellent images this week, even more than usual, and with so many good ones, I'm sure you all are going to have your own favorites, probably not the same as mine. Nevertheless, here are the images that stood out for me in this round.
First is RHKing's "Fragile Urban Landscape," a found abstract that is striking in b/w, full of contrasts. Good eye, Robert.
Second is sdimbour's "Apéritif," with its beautiful clarity and sharpness (as usual for Sandra), the people all going about their lives (including one young mother eyeing the camera), and the composition that emphasizes the unusual shape of the building and falls away to each side.
Third is a tie between RoseCat's "The Barn" and Starzee's "Erie Canal Trail," both muted and serene, asymmetric yet balanced.
Honorable Mentions to Coronation80's portrait of a thoughtful "Ben,"" jsi's "Deep Time #1" with its misty light at the horizon contrasting with the sharp grasses in the foreground, and TomHH's sharp and stormy coastal view.

RHKing Robert’s image is wonderful and a great black and white abstract - congratulations Robert. Well done sdimbour Sandra - that image is just so French and showcases your marvellous skill with composition. Hugs to RoseCat Catherine and Starzee Star for joint third - as Ted says, two serene images. And to the HMs - Coronation80 Stephen and TomHH Tom - hearty slaps on the back. It was an exceptional week Black and White Challenge-wise and I’d like it to continue please.

Yes indeed. And, by the way, I’m loving the new avatar.
Another wonderful week in BW 
Well done, terse, hope you’ve had a nice lie down since discharging your judging duties.
Congrats RHKing Robert, love your found abstract, and love when found abstracts turn up in BW
Congrats Sandra, Catherine, Star, Tom and Stephen - and all who contributed.

Thank you for third. Personally, I love @RoseCat’s image. I am jealous of her gift for finding cool shed and barns to photograph.There were lots of excellent images this week, even more than usual, and with so many good ones, I'm sure you all are going to have your own favorites, probably not the same as mine. Nevertheless, here are the images that stood out for me in this round.
