Weekly challenge #159 "Colorful Landscapes"
Posted By: NaClH2O, 02-20-2011, 09:25 PM

Weekly Challenge #159 - Colorful Landscapes
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, especially the northern half of the northern half, the colors outside this time of year are especially boring, we've got brown and grey and black and somethimes white if it snows. That's pretty much it. So I'd like to brighten up our viewing. Lets' see those bright blues and purples, yellows and oranges, reds and magentas!
Challenge ends on Sunday Feb 27th at Midnight EST.

The fine print....
1. Post ONE photo (max 1024x1024).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread, and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.

Decided to toss in something from last fall. Brilliant colours don't last long here, one has to act fast.
