Best Photos of 2013, Black and White.

Every year I like together what I think are my best Black and White (and colour in another post here) photographs. People then vote for their favourites and then a top ten list is compiled.

The task is pretty simple, just flick through the photos below and add a comment at the bottom to give your vote for which is your favourite or favourites (as you can, of course, like more than one) and then I tally them up and the winners announced in a glittering red carpet ceremony.  Or due to the fact I own no carpet, I will probably just put them on here, and am thinking I might make a calendar of the best photographs should I have time.....

For the last 4 years I had selected randomly a voter for a special prize, so I shall most likely do it again this year. So, have a look, let me know and maybe you could win too. So here they are and in no particular order.......
