This one is a hard one for me today. I am having a bit of a difficult time wrapping my head around what constitutes Value in art and photography. June, who posted this month's challenge gave some great definitions defining the differences between hue, tint, shade and value. Those all helped tremendously!
I went with black and white hoping that this will fit for value.
According to Art in Canada: Shadows, darkness, contrasts and light are all values in artwork.
About.com Art History Glossary defines Value as: An element of art, value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. Value becomes critical in a work which has no colors other than black, white, and a gray scale. For a great example of value in action, think of a black and white photograph. You can easily visualize how the infinite variations of gray suggest planes and textures.
So, go out and shoot some value today! :)
