| 646 Pictures... OMG. New record. Let us all hope that we achieve more than a brown bag award. Commenting on all of them? What do you all think of this momentous occasion? Limits on challenges? Now is the time to decide. |

How should I vote on sepia tone? I don't call brown black or white, it is not even gray.
I need some input. |

Regardless of how much I'd like to dismiss some entries from 647 I think any sepia or duotone image qualifies as B/W.

Most would say it falls into the B&W category. However, vote however you wish. If you don't think it fits the challenge, vote accordingly. |

People like you are the reason that I decided not to go sepia even though it is a much more powerful tool for getting your emotion across in a b/w image...

Hey, settle down. Just asking for input. And I saw the first load of the site at 9pm pst. How did one picture slip in? 646-647? Just a question. 4 minutes elapsed until the number changed. |

Not meant as a jab at you, just a reality of the site. There is a certain faction of voters that are so anal about the wording of the Challenge theme/description that they don't see the photos...

This is the best way IMO to define B&W photography taken from “thefreedictionary.com”
Black-and-White
3.a. Rendered in black and white or in achromatic colors.
NOW achromatic means:
1. Designating color perceived to have zero saturation and therefore no hue, such as neutral grays, white, or black.

| Sepia is a normal usage..for B & W Photography....DPC has always considered this as acceptable...now with 647 entries...you are getting a too literal view..of a Challenge description...lol |

From the title: "Black and White"
From the description: "palette of greys"
I just don't understand how this is difficult to understand, or why those who read it as 'duotone' feel the need to get insulting to those who can read -- and comprehend what they read.
The challenge is what it is -- why try to make it into something other than what it is. If it was was a duotone challenge, it would have said so -- just like the previous one did.

Just had to add this:
Sepia definition [and I know most of you know this]:
1.c. A photograph in a brown tint.
[For those that want to look it up]
If your employer said you are only allowed to wear black shoes, would you wear brown and tell him/her their black? NO!
So I say Sepia is not a black and white photo despite some call it acceptable.

Let the threads bitchin about scores BEGIN! (you know it's coming)
"Mine is sepia, why do I have a 3.4?" "Mine IS black and white, my score is 4! What's up?"
It's just because your photo SUCKS! Get it! There I said it. Get used to the idea that you may love your photo, but obviously thousands of others don't.
I feel better now.

I'm with TooCool, and against using a magnifier to look at every letter in the rules. Sepia, duotones, tritones,... are B/W since photography exists, but as anything else DPC is reinventing it just because someone who probably didn't thought much about it, put the words "pallete of greys" in the rules.
