Have we started before from the point of view that we only have mono because they could not invent a colour process. If they had done that first nobody would bother with mono.

Not if I can help it. I think both versions work, in this case.
And.....for both is a place, for now and the future.

Martin.

Nice one Martin, Well done.
Is it an HDR image? or a tone-mapped raw or something? The sky has more tone in it than I would expect for an essentially dark scene.

Well done.

I haven't submitted any for ages so put 3 up at the beginning of the week (2 water drop shots and my avatar) and noticed this morning all 3 had been accepted.

I can never work out what they are actually looking for, I can guarantee if I put them up next week they would be rejected.

Nothing like that. No HDR involved. It was a short moment of breaking clouds and wonderful side lighting. I did some local enhancements in the sky, using curves and soft light blending modes.

Just click site tools here.
In the sub menu: "contact us", fill in the invitation form and wait a couple of days for approval.

I'll guess it all depends on who takes the trouble of voting. Different tastes every time.

Martin.
Best regards,

Martin.
