If sweeping landscapes a la Ansel Adams or the action of the rodeo have captured your heart, express that to us with your best black and white photo. If those colorful characters you know translate to amazing black and white portraits, we want to see them! Show us your best black and white photos – landscapes, action shots, portraits, and more. With a different theme to guide you each month, the black and white possibilities are endless. To enter the contest, you have to like us on Facebook.

Macro photography is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life size. (From Wikipedia)
