Fifteen to be precise JillyG Jilly, from eight people (not counting myself in this). The common denominator being they were all great images.
6 from terse
1 from ric alexander
1 from The Great Garbanzo
2 from NickLeon
1 from Starzee
2 from JillyG
1 from deepop
and
1 from RoseCat (who I truly wished would post more)
My 3 favourite images this week were Skylight from RoseCat, Skimmers from terse and Caravancan't by The Great Garbanzo
I'm always torn when I judge these challenges, between just giving the top spot to someone that doesn't win very often, or actually awarding to what I see as the best image. If its a proper challenge then the winner should really have the best image, regardless of how many times they have won in the past and regardless of how many images they have entered. That's how I see it anyway.
This weeks winner is terse with Skimmers.
A truly beautiful serene image, esp for someone like me that doesn't get to the sea that often. I'm pretty sure Ted didn't just walk along and snap it and walk off. There must have been some contemplation and quite a few discarded images that day.
The gulls the waves the empty space, all fantastic.
No second and third with so few images, but all were of a very high standard. We really need to get more people involved in the b/w or maybe it was just a slow week?

It's not even my banana.
Thanks, John, I didn't expect that. 
And congrats to all who pitched in -- good work all around.
And congrats to all who pitched in -- good work all around.Right you are. A quick scan of the album shows about 40 shots in the half hour I was wandering along that beach. 3 got posted.
Thank you John - the judge’s favourite should always win, irrespective.
Congratulations Ted - you’re the birdman, and no mistake. It’s a beautiful image, and I love the reflections in the wet sand. Great work from everyone - thank you. Okay, me and the skimmers are off to the Gallery. See you there.

I don't disagree, but it sometimes seems that the same few people win week after week. Fair enough if they have the best images (of course they do) but more entrants would at least give us more choice. Not sure how we do this but I think Mobitog is going through a 'projects' driven phase.
So maybe when we see a great b/w in a 365 for instance we should scream B/W CHALLENGE!!
Yes, I’m all for screaming.
Great choice!!! It caught my eye immediately.
Yes, I think some prodding is called for, too. I'm willing to join in.
Another thought: I often post more in the b/w challenge when I'm having trouble with the current MC theme. Often times I like the color version of a photo better, but it doesn't fit the theme so there's no place to put it except my fragments thread.
I wonder if the opposite is true, that when there's a popular MC theme, it draws off images from the b/w challenge. I have sometimes posted b/w and color versions of the same photo in the respective challenges, but not usually.
Thank you, John… I am trying to get my butt out and do more thereby photographing more…. Appreciate that it was noticed, and missed. ❤️
Well done terse Ted! It’s a really lovely image.
Thank you for the mention, John! I was sitting at work the other day, looking out at the skylight and admiring the light…. and it occurred to me with a resounding “DUH” to photograph it.
I “saw” opportunities so often back east….its somehow become dormant since my move, but I’m trying to remedy that.

What happened to the Colour winners gallery (nothing to do with my win btw)?
