| I've got my Desolation submission narrowed down to two photos and now I'm working them in PS. My question is do you think a color photo has a chance or will the top three all be monochrome? No doubt that monochrome adds a feel of isolation/desolation but maybe color will stand out in the crowd. What do you think? |

Roger, I think you are correct that there will be alot of B/W & monochrome. I think not so much that a color shot will stand out just because it's in color.
Submit what you like best, no use worrying what the voters will prefer, it's a futile exercise...

| That's short for monochromatic. "all of one color" Black and white pictures count, and so do sepia-tones. |

I agree with Kirbic. You can't please everyone, so post the one you feel best about or would like to get feedback on the most.

I have a great photo taken one day too early ....
I try to refer to them as "grayscale" rather than Black and White, reserving that for pen-and-ink line drawings, etchings, and envravings and the like, which are truly only black or white. But that's an old Photoshop, not photography habit .... |

b) Barren; lifeless: (eg, the rocky, desolate surface of the moon.)
2. Rendered unfit for habitation or use: the desolate cities of war-torn Europe.
3. Dreary; dismal.
4. Bereft of friends or hope; sad and forlorn. See Synonyms at sad.
... and of 'Desolation':
1. The act or an instance of desolating.
2. The state of being desolate.
3. Devastation; ruin: a drought that brought desolation to the region.
4. a) The state of being abandoned or forsaken; loneliness: a sense of utter desolation following the death of his parents.
b) Wretchedness; misery.

| size question. The picture I submitted for the challenge is within the right size limits but you have to scroll to see all of it. Can I unsubmit it and resubmit it smaller? |

I have just unsubmitted and submitted four times I think, trying to decide between two images...still don't know if I chose correctly, but you can change them at will I guess until the challenge ends.

I would much rather scroll to see the entire length of your image than squint to see details on a smaller one. I feel it is always best to submit the largest image allowed. |

"DESOLATION" ...is what you believe it to be. No interpretation necessary....
