Great collection, a bit too long to browse through for the person who skims, seeing as it’s 100 photos. I still can’t help thinking that some of these (i.e. the one with the snails) would do just as well, if not better, in color. It’s only where there is severe contrast between bright and dark (i.e. the tulips and flowers) that black-and-white photography makes sense.

custom B&W prints are still simply stunning. Some great shots here; some others here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MarkoPhotos

Awesome pics. I love the collection especially those snails are looking really nice:)

Great collection! The one with the baby splashing in the pool made me laugh!

Great selection – if only I could take photos like these!

Great photos, I love B&W photos – check out any photos by Ansell Adams one of the best B&W photographers..

Yep, “Black & White” was King…. photographers and movie makers used “shadows & lighting” to get the picture they envisioned… total creativity on their part !! Now, it’s “color and computers” for just about everything and a virtual unending supply of “creativity”… on the part of the people and their computers with the help of “c.g. specialists” to gain the “look & feel” they want !! Welcome the 21st century “thinkers” !!

These “black & white” photographs are still fantastic… even by today’s standards !! Thank you for sharing !!

Wow , Great collection! , the second photo is very nice !

Extremadamente artistico…………….

Nice Collection.Thanx

Wonderful!

They are nice enough shots, but the main thing about them is that they are all very contrasty with a lot of black and lost details in the shadows. It’s a particular style. I’d like to see more variety in approach.

Impressive collection of B/W photography. Nice one.

Very nice pics, but where are the credits ?!

the images are just stunning..loved every capture.. the subject that we choose in b&w is vry important..the contrast & lights are the essentials for a good black & white photography..the subjects that i select for black & white is high in contrast jus like the 1st image..i make sure abt the lights in my black & white pictures as more or less light both will ruin a classy image..i like black & white images as these images speak up the emotions that a photographers wants to convey..thank you for sharing it..

Always loved B&W photos – there’s just a little something that you get with a B&W that you can’t capture with a colour photo. Great pictures, real “art” – not like a lot of this “contemporary” stuff!

Brilliant work. Black and White pictures are always so so fun, classic, creative and original.

Very nice pic, Some great shots here; http://dapixara.com/Blogs/photo_blog.php

This is a great style. I loved seeing it all in one collection… makes me want to learn photography!

mesmerizing photos…i can only wish to take photos like this

great photos…keep up the good work

Some of these are truly beautiful, I particularly like those from Nick Brandt.

Why no credits to the photographers who created these fantastic pictures?

Brilliant collection of black and white photography.

The perspectives that these photographers found in some of these photos is really incredible. The nature shots are all really great too.

I always prefer B & W photography to any other and i always thought B&W tells deeper stories:)

Excelente trabajo, tanto de los fotografos como de la produccion y seleccion.
