19th Photo Contest for 11/16/2010- Theme Black and White Photography

THEME: BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY
This photo contest is going to be all about black and white photography!

Post resized images or else I will delete without warning

DEADLINE: December 16th, midnight (EST)

I will post my later

So... what are the rules exactly?
Any picture is allowed?
And you just post your picture in a thumbnail? Please elaborate. ._.

Your submission must be:
Taken with a digital camera that records EXIF, and EXIF should be left in the submission
Attached to your post.
Taken and post-processed by you.
Created from a single capture, unless the contest specifies otherwise
You may:

Use any feature of your camera, EXCEPT to combine multiple images into one
Crop, rotate, resize your entry
Use filters or stand alone utilities designed to preserve image integrity (Neat Image, Noise Ninja, Unsharp Mask, dust & scratch and color correction tools) These filters must be applied uniformly to the entire image. No effect filters may be used past Noise and Gaussian Blur.
Saturate / desaturate or change the colors of your entry, but only as applied to the whole image
Add a border to the outside edge of your image, if it's easily visible as such
Use RAW conversion software, so long as all changes are made globally
You may NOT:
Spot edit the entry, except to remove sensor dust or hot pixels
Submit the same image in two consecutive contests
Submit any image that previously won or an image that was picked for voting less then 5 weeks ago
Submit more than one image per contest
Make any edits to a selection of the image
Add objects or features (such as text, lens flare, clip art, renders, parts from other photos) to the image
Remove objects or features other then sensor dust/hot pixels
Distort or stretch the image in any way
Submit a photo containing anything that goes against the general rules of the site (nudity, etc)

Well here's mine! Photo taken at the Sengakuji temple, where the 47 samurai/ronin are buried. It's quite an interesting story, and their outfits served as an inspiration to the shinsengumi at the end of the edo period, during the bakumatsu.

Here is mine! I took this last year at a market in queen anne in Seattle.

Here is my entry. I took this over Labor Day weekend for a report that I had done for my History of Photography project.

It's like you're waiting for a train...

I wanted to participate with a different picture but my camera ate my brand new batteries.

I'm just bumping the thread so that it can get some more traffic. KEEP POSTING PEOPLE!

I hope this is okay. >_<

My entry.

Not what I wanted to do. But better than nothing. Be sure to look at it in its largest size... the thumbnail makes it all ugly. Heh.
