We thought this photo was a beautiful tribute to womanhood, and very classy.

OIEL Photography had this to say :

"The old glamour photos from the 20s inspired my photo's processing... I also added a blur to everything else except for her face to add some depth of field."

Mission accomplished, it is very glamorous.

We felt Ashlee's photo "Why" was an unusual mix of strength and vulnerability.



What was Ashlee's driving force in creating this photo? "Life inspired me," she said, "like it inspires all of my photos...I suppose, I simply discovered a feeling and lived in it for that moment, solely to capture its meaning, hopefully forever..."

We chose Amanda's Lim's photo for several reasons. We like the lighting, the outfit, one admin really likes all of the ruffles, and we feel it is a brilliant fashion shot.

We caught up with Amanda, and this is what she had to say:

"Victorian collars in renaissance paintings combined with my love for theatre inspired this shot. :) "

As you can see Amanda is a woman of very few words. ( Probably because she is working on her next shot.)

We picked "All Times" By Adam T4 because we felt it was very cinematic and timeless.

We wanted to know What Adam's motivation was, so we asked. This is what he told us:

"About All Times Notations for the Monochrome Delight Group: It was a special day. I woke very early. It was my Birthday. I decided to got out in the the rain and the dark, and seek treasure. I had my mind set to find Beauty. I was looking for a gift. I got off before my stop to to wander and search for an image, and then it was there. I switched to B&W for the subway because it seemed classic. I just knew that shot would be good. Most if not all my takes are from the gut and instinctual.... Why I like this shot - The sharp figure in relief before the blurred steel train cars. Here was a guy just going to work early, unaware of the tableaux he presented!"
