I’m leaning toward the color version myself. However, I think that the monochrome version lost a little something during the conversion to a web-size sRGB image. I may make up a couple of prints today to compare the images in tangible form.

I love your work. Great job!

I prefer the color photo over the B&W. That’s a personal choice, not a quality choice. I’ve always leaned toward color photos. Your composition, as usual, is great.

Thanks! I’m absolutely thrilled about the Editor’s Choice selection. The blastoff and backlit fog were something to behold. It easily worth the many hours (over four mornings) that I spent standing in the dark, in sub-zero temperatures, waiting. I like the photo so much that I just printed a nice 11×16.5 for my office.

I’m delighted that you enjoy my work. Ultimately, that’s what its all about.

Congratulations on your “Blastoff” (well deserved) 500px.com’s Editors Choice award. Your timing was perfect. It must have been a wonmderful experience just to be there and see them, let alone take a photograph of them. As a learning tool, I look at a number of Professional photographers web sites and I consider your work to be one of the best, if not the best. In my opinion, many of the Pro’s “Over Photoshop” thier work to the point of looking more like a painting rather than a photograph.

I really enjoy your e-mail’s and web site.

Congrad’s again.

I to like the bottom photo best. Both are good but, I belive the horzontal framing adds more balance to the photo. I even like the muddy shoreline. To me it has a positive effect.
