Just starting to get my feet wet with this.... Three variations of the sunset above the building where I work and some shots taken in NYC that are outside the date range. So they are not options for entering but I'm hoping your feedback on all of these will help me figure out what I'm doing with this challenge!
Thank you,
Gretchen

Of the first 3 I like #1 for the fact that I can see the building the best. I like the building being in the shot and the others colors kind of hide it. Overall, I think my favorite is 5. Statue of Liberty Selenium... The color is beautiful and fits, which is the tricky part when working with monotones.

Donna, I appreciate your input on those first three shots. The rain has finally stopped here - at least for now - and we'll see what else I get.
Thank you all for affirming the Statue of Liberty shots in one way or another. And Linda, thank you for posting the link to the ray of light tutorial. I had come across that before but have never tried it.
Cheers,
Gretchen

I've tried it and it works well on some shots but not all. It's a fun effect to play with, though.

When you come to a door... walk through it.
If it's locked... find an open window.
Thanks, Chris. I'll look at the first shots again. I may have some other possibilities as well.

Finally had time to play with monotone a bit more. Had visitors on Saturday - grandson and daughter's dogs - and went on a photo shoot Monday. What do you think? Any good options here?

#5 is just perfect. Beautiful. Too bad you can't use it.
#11 is equally beautiful.
Heading off to another family wedding tomorrow morning and would love to get more input on these images to help me decide what to enter Clouds are looking interesting just now so may try to squeeze in getting a few more shots but not counting on it.

The cathedrals are terrific, but I can't get around the trees.
