My favourite bee at Eden. About a decade and a half ago I took a street photography image of two young lovers, oblivious to everything (weren't we all back then), strolling past this very bumblebee art installation. Later entered it into a photo competition run by Eden who were unashamedly trawling for nice pictures. Judges put it first and they flew my wife & I out to Guernsey on a day's flying conducted tour around their flora and nurseries. So... nice bee:-)

I bet this would look good in B&W also!

Cheers. I wondered about that too ...but it doesn't.

It comes down to the colour play between the azure sky and enhanced yellow glow on the wooden boat (from the low setting sunshine colour balance). There's also the nuances of all the old layers of faded flaking paint, primers and myriad rust stains that became largely invisible in a mono view. Yes, the image 'would' work in mono but only displayed at full resolution - as I see it here on my IPS panel. So I chose colour for the forum but thank you for the thought:-)

In explanation I am going through my back catalogue specifically to 'train' my mono viewpoint for when I get more chances to go out with my Q2M. The relevant part of the back catalogue encompasses those four or five years that I've had the Q (there's decades of stuff beyond). Not least some really quite competent point-and-shoot type diary images from my various generations of iPhones, especially as Capture One 21 Pro now sports HEIC functionality. This pretty much means I'll probably drop my previously favoured RAW renderer (SilkyPIX). I did ask them but they have declined so far. More importantly they have apparently decided that the Q2M is rather too 'vertical market' to natively support:-/ Well, I can always transfer with TIFFs but, all in all, I've decided to favour C1.
