When you say respect the light, what exactly does that mean, been rather confused about this.

Dr Malin did indeed start this mantra where he has asked that images show really bright areas
as bright and darker areas as
not as bright ie not to spread the dynamic range toooo much or you risk losing the reality of the scene. So... I guess to do well in
his competition one perhaps needs to do just as he says

...having said that though, just to throw a spanner in the works, David still awards images that don't really adhere to this mantra, so it
can be a little confusing

. In the end... do what you want I recon

Yeah but you know I do loooove blue

...besides, I guess this
is in fact a hybrid blend of two nationally and internationally recognised images, judged by no less than a total of
12 officially recognised judges all up

so, who is right?...of course winning competitions doth not the image make, seen some what I think are brilliant M42's that have not won imaging comps

...juuust sayin
