Portrait

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Black & White Beauties — Artistic Monochrome Portraits challenge. This round was incredible, 89 entries, the highest number I’ve ever had for a challenge, and every single one brought something distinctive to the monochrome theme. There were some truly beautiful and striking portraits throughout the challenge

A huge well done to the three placed winners:

1st place: @LadySphene 2nd place: @Kristos 3rd place: @GadgetFreak

I haven’t quite decided who should receive the 25 credit tip for my favourite image yet, so watch your inbox.

If you enjoyed this theme, I’d love to see you in the next one — Black & White Beauties: A Touch of Colour — where monochrome meets a single vivid accent. Let’s see if we can keep the momentum going and maybe even break that entry record again.

Thanks again for making this such a strong, inspiring, and genuinely enjoyable challenge.
