Thanks for your thoughts. Obviously, we disagree. High contrast does not demand monochrome, or b&w, or high key, or low key. There can be high contrast elements, even in a photo with lots of mid-tones. The seeds and fluff contrast very well, and in fact, the fluff and mid-tones do too. Not interested in a debate, not trying to change your mind. Just explaining my logic in entering this photo.

How interesting. I saw a wide beach, both from side to side and in the depth of the beach. I saw a wide sky. Wide reflections. And I guess I was blinded by that. You saw a wide crop, and were maybe blinded by that. I was focused on wide content. You seemed to focus on wide form. At least from my perspective, it was not “all in the crop.”

Resized and compressed version of the original. I wanted a simpler image than the kaleidoscope images we usually see so i started with the VERY simple and deadly boring image above.

Thanks. Been away quite awhile. Drawn back on the promise of a refresh of the site, which doesn't seem to be imminent. Entered 13 challenges so far this year. Couple of blues, lately, so I guess "I've still got it."

This looks almost exactly like the house I grew up in, in Montana, in the 50's. Thanks for the nostalgia trip.
