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

It looks a little blue to me
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
