The theme for SPC #11 will be

‘The Soul of the City’

^{Chosen by guest judge @violino}

Read carefully:

Photographs of city life, in black & white. Portraits not accepted, meaning that the subject of the photo should not be the person’s face. If there are faces in the shots, they need to be minor OR somewhat obscured naturally (not with photoshop blurring etc)

NO street portraits.

There are a few examples here that meet these guidelines, so you can get an idea.

Remember: Black & White, no closeup portraits or images where the person’s face is the subject.

This is fine - Not this

Show us the soul of the city.

I want to get a feeling of life and the environment in the city, the real gritty city — not the tourist spots.
