It really seems that we're slicing this subject much too thin;
and expressing very personal preferences
rather than useful pointers.

Fine color photographs will use color extremely well
as a major and important element.
Ric, Kyle and others demonstrates this on a weekly basis.

In other cases - yes - color can seem to get in the way
of what may be an otherwise strong graphic image.

Bottom line:
the photographer must speak substantively
and in a style appropriate to their own vision.
