The 'Mostly White' contest, as you've likely guessed, was about focusing on images that are almost completely white – which resulted in some magnificent high key mono photographs.
Animals were very well represented, with Thomas Martin McShane (04), Pedro Brás (14) and Camille Vosk (15)'s beautiful birds, and Margie Troyer stunning pair of white horses (20).
Landscapes were also a popular subject, and Pappipop (09), Ben Lavrinoff (18) and Gary Hunter (21) delivering some superb shots. We also had some fantastic macro entries, including Frank Werle's abstract straws (01) and Pavlína Rolincová's frosty berries (18).
The 20 highest ranked images were published in Photography Week magazine, and we're pleased to showcase these images below, along with the rest of the top 500 featured photographs in the gallery that follows.
