I want to thank each of you who participated in this challenge. I always find it difficult to select a host for the next challenge, there is always such a wide range of results, from dramatic to subdued and also black and white. Each with their own merits.
scphoto - Welcome to Pentax Forums and to the post prcessing challenge. You started us off with a B&W version nicely executed.
mariwalt - You were able to keep the colors of the red rock balanced nicely with the whites of the snow and greens of the trees.
Bruce Clark - An interesting choice, setting the mountains and sky in the background to B&W and thereby drawing the attention into the canyon foreground in color.
tmlawes - You choice to retain more of the sky than others and have a nice balance of the colors.
jmacias - You chose a portrait crop and focus the attention to the canyon.
noelcmn - The most dramatic entry with vibrant colors.
lidy - A well balanced take on the image.
tuggie 76 - A nicely balanced image with a slightly brighter look.
todd - Two B&W entries, each with a slightly different feel. The first showing the expanse of the scene and the second more focused on the formations in the foreground.
savoche - A color and a B&W, both well done.
Tas - These challenges are always a good place to try out the new "toys". A nice image.
It wasn't easy, but I must select the host for the next challenge and I will bestow that honor on savoche for the color entry.
This was my result:
