Judges Comment

This is a very strong balance on the tones of black and white to show aesthetics and beauty. A daring use of composition. Great use of light to make it sparkling and alive. Few elements that create an impressive effect.

Photographers Comment

My name is Allen Bourgeois and the photograph was taken in Oak Park, Illinois. I shot it with a Leica M Monochrom and a 35mm Summilux FLE lens. Theres not a lot of post processing done but I did do some work in CS4 like levels to adjust contrast. Thanks so much to the judges for the Mark of Excellence Award.
