Well an executive decesion needed to be made in the interest of moving forward. I do not intend to violate the spirit of the competition, but rather to give us all excuses to get out there and shoot something! If I have offended anyone I appologize. Feel free to delete this thread.

I am not sure what happened to Ivan hopefully all is well and he is on holidays. Pete just won one recently I think so we all want to see his pictures and we have not heard from Cullen. So I will jump in !

The theme for this weeks challenge is
Color(s)

It can be an image with one crisp color, lots of colors, colored opinions, see the world though rose colored glasses, I know we will see some great interpretations.

This challenge is pretty much self explanatory. Your pictures just must illustrate color(s) however you interpret it in one photo.

Your final entry is due next Tuesday meaning all entries must be in before Wednesday the 8th whenever that is where you live.

Ill announce the winner next Wednesday or Thursday.

Good luck to everyone.

The rules:
1. Post ONE photo (max 800x800) as a response to THIS post.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme. It can be colour or B&W, your choice.
3. You can offer as much or as little additional information as you wish, but I'd be interested to know the location/event/whatever being depicted.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. The challenge runs for 7 days plus a day or so for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any camera will do but it must be a Pentax. (added by Jonas for Challenge #23: Just use any camera you want. I'm not discriminating anyone as long as the is an active member here)

Here's my entry - I was out walking and noticed a new, 'brightly' colored motorcycle... was drawn to the wheel for come reason - just like the colors, the reflections in the metal etc - also I was testing out my old Super Takumar 55mm f1.8 lens - was very pleased with the results...

*drools over picture above* not even seeing the fairing it's a Kwak (kawasaki) and by the looks of the Tokico's I'd say it's a ZX-9R... stunning bike and a great picture to boot!

Recovering from a back operation makes it a bit hard to use the camera for the moment so it has to be an old photo. These girls are waiting to go on the stage for a show. Boredom has set in.

smcclelland:
Thanks for the input - as you can tell by the 'description' of the photograph I know very little (to say the least) about motorcycles, but was 'drawn' to this one and the wheel in particular. I had no idea the picture would be as good as it turned out - I was really just 'playing' around with this lens - shooting almost anything - just goes to show good pictures can 'happen anywhere...'
