Note: Images not meeting any of the above requirements will be disqualified (DQed)
Background:

All other things being equal, images will often do better in competition where the color chosen for monochrome representation is appropriate to the mood of the subject. For example, a dusky blue for a twilight setting; pink or mauve for sunset. The elements of the composition may also have an effect on the overall color, such as a shade of green for a tree-filled, grassy landscape.
