2007 B&W Single Image Award

I thought we all took this picture


B&W, a paper magazine for collectors of fine photography just released her FEBRUARY 2007 issue. It's a special that features the winners of the yearly B&W Single Image Contest.

I was suprised by the winning photos. But not in a positiv way. Especially the choice of the golden award winner in the category pattern / texture raised questions.

I really like the photo, but... not much more than I liked mine when I took about the same picture a while back.
Doesn't every photographer have a simular picture in his archieves?
