Beautiful shot. I'd vote it a winner.

Nicely done.

If you sold.it, the caption could be "A wire sold owl".

But why are there b&W shots submitted to Cambridge in Colour?

Nicely presented Ken. Good luck with the competition.

The colour in the Chapada Diamantina Trekking Landscape image is brilliant!

I believe this Wire Owl to be a new species, rather more hardy than the other varieties with feathers...

I see what you did there.

The actual answer is a bit like the joke where someone needs some dry cleaning in a hurry so goes into a shop proclaiming '"Dry Cleaning While You Wait" only to be told his cleaning will be ready next week. When he complains that's not what it says over the door, he's told "But that's just the name of the shop".

There is some info on why the site is named as it is in the first paragraph under the heading 'ABOUT THE GALLERY 'on this page:

So photos taken in around Cambridge have to be in colour, but the rest can be black & white...

Except B&W photos are not black and white, they are shades of grey.

Is grey a colour?

Perhaps no, technically. In daily usage, yes.

stuck · Post by **stuck** » 05 Sep 2023, 11:39

So that's a definite maybe then?

Post by **HansV** » 05 Sep 2023, 11:46

Probably!

Post by **HansV** » 05 Sep 2023, 11:46

Or possibly...

Post by **StuartR** » 05 Sep 2023, 12:34

Possibly not

Post by **StuartR** » 05 Sep 2023, 14:45

Many shades of grey, my friend

I've heard there are 50

Meanwhile, back on topic, sort of, my photo of this owl wasn't shortlisted for this competition:
