Photo Challenge - September 2011 - Colour - Entries

[pphillpot]

Colour

Images with colour as the predominant theme. Pick any colour and shoot photos that feature that colour strongly, or maybe you want to shoot the whole spectrum of colour? It's up to you!

The rules:


- The shot MUST be taken this month, with the closing date being midnight on the 30th of September
- The exif must be posted with your shot.
- Keep the images posted to a decent size please, 1024px wide max.
- I will choose the winner this month (with the winner choosing the theme for next month, then deciding who should win that months)
- The Challenge for next month should be generic, as not everyone has access to zoom, macro, specialist lenses. It should be shots that everyone is capable of achieving with the bare essentials.

Could the mods please make this a sticky?

Thanks to everyone that entered, sorry for the late response. The photo that stood out for me this month was Mark's Saltwick Bay Sunrise.

I like the strong colour theme of this shot and the other wordly appearance this gives the landscape. Nice shot.

So Mark, congrats and over to you!

Thanks Paul, much appreciated.

Lovely shots everyone, we all seem to be improving at the moment, it is exciting isn't it?

I'll have a think of a new theme for this month's.
