Never underestimate the power of black and white. Photo Challenge 36 was all about monochrome and boy did our challengers rise to the occasion. We received a great swag of terrific entries and it was therefore exceptionally difficult to decide a winner. But, in the end, that's our task, so after much back and forth, we gave the nod to Mark Sherborne for his very subtle untitled landscape study. As a token of our appreciation, Mark will receive a Verbatim 250GB Portable Hard Drive.

Mark's picture just pipped our the First Runner-up, the brooding and intense "Backyard Fight" by Zorica Purlija.

Our Honourable mention list includes Josh Leahy's gritty tree trunk and roots picture; Andrew Goldsworthy's panoramic shot of Mount Cook from Lake Pukaki, NZ; Roy Lister's tough as nails picture of his mate Richard; Roz Krugle's exquisite shot of a Tern she entitled "Extension" and Mardi Harrison's simple floral image.
