If it's landscape I am shooting, I want to viewer to see it as it was when I shot it. But again, my eye didn't see those vivid reds, greens and blues.

Thats by no means the only way to shoot landscapes, B&W for example is by its very nature not realistic.

Which is one reason most of them are so bad.

If 1000 bad amature atempts are needed to create one Ansel Adams or Robert Werling then I consider them a price worth paying.

Very few professional B&W shots are any good either. Maybe 1 in 1000 of those.

Have you ever taken one? I feel that many of my images are somewhat good. I am still hoping that one day, I may even take a great photo. Perhaps we may be simply seeing via a different set of standards.

There is simply too much beauty in the world to photograph it all, but I'm trying.

I've taken one image that I thought was better as a B&W than it was in color - out of around 200, 000 images.
