I carry a very sturdy monopod which is very effective. It gives me stability for both the camera and me. |

I can understand that but I still feel it is overall rather dark. |

I'm on the side of preferring the colour version. We don't have aspens here so seeing the fantastic colours in the original means I'm always going to go for that version. I found the mono too complicated so my eyes were all over the place. The fence should give a lead-in which it does in the colour and leads to the blue mountains in the background. Somehow in the mono, the fence leads in and then I get lost in the jumbled foliage and the mountains don't provide a clear backdrop, which they do in the colour. |

The people are essential to give a feel of scale to this shot. I thought the top of the framework was a bit lost against the sky and I don't know how to solve that problem. I actually felt the colour version was more dramatic, especially with the colour in the umbrella and the brightness of the sky. I found the mono too sombre. |

I agree with the cropping suggestion because of the loss of the top of the triangle. I would also have taken this and then wondered how to process it. The shadows and the shapes are dramatic but they seem to compete with each other, plus the sunlight is so strong that you have had problems coping with both the sunlit brightness and the dark shadows. This is probably a shot which needed different lighting, or different shutter speed and therefore not possible on a tourist walk! |

I'm not sure about the final mono as the lioness is so isolated, and I think I would like a little more detail to show round her. It is a very different style of image. She almost looks cuddly! |

If you send two versions as original, then they come out both labelled as original but 1 and 2. Then you can refer to them in the text to show what was the actual original and what has been processed. We can get round their titles! |

I agree with you that foggy images are difficult. I've tried them in colour and mono and often end up with leaving them in colour because I am unhappy with the conversion. In the colour, there is a red area on the sea stack which brings the eye to it whereas in the mono, the focus is the foggy bit to the right of the stack and on the trees on top. So, there is a difference in the final effect. For me, the colour is more effective, but I still like the mono. I haven't ever really managed to do mono foggy pictures unless they are very high key ones. |

I missed the small detail of the fisheye lens because I went straight to the picture and then the comments, so I had assumed it was taken through a sphere to start with. Just shows one ought to read things properly! It is so interesting to see the effect created. Does the water flow from side to side? I agree that the sunburst works well. |

I like perspective shapes as well. I used a mono pod for stability and put the camera down low, with the view screen swung round so I could see what I was getting -I can't get down and up again so easily these days so this method means I can still get the low shots! |
