PLEASE READ THE RULES! YOU MUST UPVOTE THIS POST TO QUALIFY TO WIN!

THEME FOR THIS WEEK'S WIWCONTEST (WHITE IS WHITE CONTEST) IS – CLOUDSCAPES IN BLACK AND WHITE.

Let's see your best black and white images of clouds. For this contest, there should be no buildings, trees, horizon or land of any kind in the shot – just pure CLOUDSCAPES.

Entries will be eliminated if they are not black and white and if they contain any land, trees or horizon etc!

Deadline for entries is SATURDAY 7th April at midnight EST. Guaranteed 1 SBD for each of the three winners.

Camera	EOS 5D
Lens	EF100-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM
Exposure	1/125 sec; f/20; ISO 100
Post-processing	Adobe® Photoshop CC 2018, Adobe® Camera Raw

Thanks to all who participated in last week's challenge. It was a very popular one, as I had anticipated. There were some terrific shots of flowers that had to be disqualified because they did not meet the requirements of the contest! Either they did not follow the theme, they were uploaded after the deadline, or the winners' post was not UPVOTED! Be sure to read the rules before entering!

Here are last week's winners! Congratulations to all!

Not all the flowers in your shoot-list of winners are worthy, some with a poor composition. I liked the photos @sunscape, @ninahaskin and @bigsambucca. I do not understand the criteria for choosing the others, I'm sorry.

Question on the new assignment, can there be a sun in the frame?

photography-101 (42) · 7 years ago

I disagree with you about the worthiness of the winners. Every image is worthy of its winning place. ALL PHOTOGRAPHERS including @youhavewings, @fernandes, @kunschj and @claudiaz are worthy winners. I thank you for bringing up the subject though, as it prompted me to write a post in photography-101 with a critique for each of the winning entries! I do hope you will read it here as it answers your question about the reasoning behind the winning choices in more depth.

You can have the sun or lens flare etc. in the shot - just no horizon, trees or land.
