John, thanks for taking the time to look and comment. To me color is another ingredient in the making of an image (for me it's an outdoor image) as much as the subject, composition, exposure, focus etc. is. I consciously seek to make the most of it if possible, but not necessarily to make it the dominant element. That doesn't mean a color image lacking some out of the ordinary color aspect is not capable of being a great image, any more than an unsharp image is necessarily a bad image.
