Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenge #7

Welcome to Round 7 of the Dgrin Sharp Shooters Challenges. This challenge is open to any Dgrin member. It will run from Monday, August 25, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -4) to Monday, September 8, 08:00am, EST time (GMT -4).


The topics ready for your interpretation: Communication (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/communication) - Exclusive Black & White ChallengeEndless possibilities here guys! Push yourselves on creative content, conveying a message, whatever you feel COMMUNICATION means to you. Your entry MUST be in black and white, so pay attention to your black and white conversion if you're shooting in color (even most P&S cameras have the ability to shoot in black and white). Do a little research if you don't currently have a sound method for achieving optimal conversion results (Dgrin's own Tutorials (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/1100284) section is a great resource!).
