    Those are some FANTASTIC b/w shots Acadielibre thanks for sharing.

    What is most notable is the fantastic composition and the excellent printing of almost every shot.

    Note the lack of distractions in these shots. This is careful, meticulous planning that we can all learn from.

    I'd be curious to know which shot people like best and why?

    I can't pick just one... some are very creative

    Toni Frissell's floating woman (the 1st one) is just wonderful, I love the reflection her body cast's... very well done...

    The unknown artist pictures of the birds with the man falling... stunning...

    Arndt Laudes Airplane in the Atrim is a little cliche but such a strong picture

    elliot erintit candid's are creative

    there is no mistake where my eyes goes and stays in most of those pictures as you said marko.. no distractions...

    I can't really make any comments as to how good they are as B&W's..... I don't have enough technical experience yet... but they are all pleasing...

    these are amazing! so inspiring...
    i liked the floating water girl, the smoking child, the polka-dot face, and pretty much every other one.

    along with the b&w's, there was the '(really) stunning' gallery - most people probably followed the link, but just in case... here it is too. (Really) Stunning Photography

    and lets not forget the HDRs...
    theres a pretty amazing eye - the one like others posted, with the fire imbedded in the iris.

    Fantastic HDRs

    I'm so impressed that many of you could choose one or 5 as favorites; it's going to take me more time to figure it all out.

    thanks for the link!

    This one by Elliot Erwitt has an uncanny resemblance of a Diane Arbus shot



    ....but, then again, I could be mistaken. Google search came up empty.
