to colour. See:

Good images. But, I don't agree with your analogy. It takes more skill
to capture emotion in a monochrome, than in color.
Come to think of it, making a still image that captures the feeling of a
place is more difficult than making a video.

Very well done. I found the colours a bit on the dull side. Then again
it's Iceland ...

Drones will be taking on a huge role in _many_ areas.

True, but is the goal to make things as difficult as possible?

If it is, I would argue that expressing an emotion in a cave wall painting
was even more difficult. And therefor not even a monochrome photographer
could ever hope to reach the artistic level of a Neaderthal artist.

I suspect it certainly would require a hihg degree of skill to make an
emotional cave man drawing.
BTW IIRC Cro Magnon were alo cave men.

Seriously, with a color image, the color will often carry an image that
would be considered mediocore in monochrome.

The thing to remember is, do not make presumptions regarding
prehistoric cave art. Not all of it is monochrome and certainly the
term "primitive art" should only be applied loosely.

Interestingly enough, the January 2015 issue of NatGeo has an article
on this very subject. My subscription gets me the online & paper
editions, so I get them in my iPad, mt desktop, or out of the mail box.

Monochrome is principally about form. Form can be enhanced by colour
but many people see only the colour and are completely unswayed by the
form.

That is true in this case:
