To quote from What is the Black & White Challenge? : "By removing color, the image will be broken down to the interplay of light and shadow, line, texture and form. As part of the challenge we want you to try to “see” in black and white." So what is Form? Shape and Form are key elements of art and photographic composition with the difference being that shape is 2D while Form is 3D so they really go together. Here's an example of an interesting shape in silhouette so 2D - but it doesn't say much about what it is (an alien with a large head perhaps ) ? Here's the original converted to black and white lit from the side so showing it has depth (so form) - could still be an alien but more like the top of a fence post and the wooden texture adds to the interest So for this months challenge find some interesting shapes - if you choose to emphasize just the shape (eg a silhouette) that's fine but I'd encourage you to look for shapes with depth to emphasize the form. Hope this makes sense! And shapes (and form) can be as simple or complex as you want - here's a complex one where I tried to emphasize the shape of the cliff and the old cedar growing on it. Tony
