About Black as a Color

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

Please do not post Black and White photographs in the Black as a Color pool.

If an object in the photo was not black when you took the photograph, don't post it here.

I want to keep this group public, no pornography nor obscenity please!

Philosophy

This group is for photos, manipulated or otherwise, focusing on black as a color, especially as defining the foreground. When considering posting a photo to pool, please ask yourself, "How does this photograph relate to Black as a color for you?" If the answer is not immediately obvious in considering the photo, please explain in your description or comments how the photograph relates to black as a color.

Unless an object in your photograph was black in reality, the photograph doesn't belong in this pool. If your photograph is not in color, the Black and White and/or B&W groups are probably more appropriate.

This group is is for images with black as a foreground object. If it's a photograph of the moon, fireworks or lightstreaks, the photo probably doesn't belong in this group. If black is only a background for your photo, for example, night sky or black background, please post it to blackground and/or Black BackGrounD instead.
