Thank you to all the photographers that shared their favorite photos showing eyes in black and white. Monochrome portraits have always maintained a classic feature and can highly enhance the final result when well applied in relation to contrast and exposure.

The gallery in this photo contest is exceptional and we cannot be more impressed with the skill level of the submissions, be sure to browse this magnificent collection.

A special thanks to our friends at Adorama and to friend & professional photographer Oliver Seidel for his collaboration as a guest judge.
