Critique the Community
Black and White
Submit your best black and white photo for your chance to win a free Fstoppers tutorial
Congratulations to the winners!
Many of the black and white images submitted for this week's critique were stunning, though Lee and Patrick didn't always agree. How do you think the 20 selections should have been rated?
Of the twenty images that were chosen for critique, two submissions were chosen for a free Fstoppers tutorial. Congratulations to Mathijs van den Bosch for submitting the highest community rated image and to Randy Gustafson for being the randomly selected entrant to win the prize. We will be in touch with both of you via your Fstoppers profiles to claim the tutorial of your choice.
If your image wasn't selected this round or if you missed your chance to participate, we are already accepting submissions for our next episode. Pick out your favorite wedding images and see how they stand up against your fellow community members by adding them to the contest HERE.
Rules & Prizes
Got a killer black and white image? Submit it to this weeks episode of Critique the Community for your chance to win a free Fstoppers original tutorial and receive feedback from Lee and Patrick.
Between now and November 7th, you can submit up to two black and white images to participate in this weeks' Critique contest. Although the image above by Brian Matiash features architecture, your submissions do not need to fit any particular genre, they simply needs to be void of color. We will be selecting 20 images to give feedback to and will choose two winners to receive a free Fstoppers original tutorial. The first winner will be based on the image which has the highest average community rating. The second winner will be chosen at random.
Whether you want to add your image to the contest or not, we invite you to scroll through the submissions of fellow community members to give feedback of your own. The easiest way to rate images is to use the arrows and number pad on your keyboard. We also encourage you to leave constructive feedback for all of us to grow together.

For the first image wouldn't it be a reflection off of a piece of art or something in a plaza of the main building going up the center.
I'm seriously concerned that no one is complaining about the ratings. What's happening? :)
What do you mean ?
Usually there's a lot of rant about the low ratings on the pictures
I think people now expect the ratings to be so stupidly low. But for this contest it's the worst I've seen it. Great images who would get a 3.5 average in any other contest now get less than 3, it's idiotic. Maybe it's because people love color and give 4 to overprocessed sunsets all the time ? Now they're lost and don't know what to do because they actually have to rate the composition...
Composition is much more difficult to understand than catchy colors.
