Hello everyone,
Sorry that I can post the winner only so late. Several things came together this week (well, mostly sick colleagues, whose work had to be done). Thanks Noel for reminding me!
Also a big thank you to all of you who have entered this competition. Every picture is a great interpretation of the topic. Not that this makes judgeing easier...
Here are my comments:
Scomatic:
Great capture of the firework, I know it is jot that easy as it looks to make good pictures of fireworks. The tree row is a nice detail, and the blurry lights reflecting on the water are a nice contrast to the sharp firework lines.
bobphoenix:
Blue, green, red. The whole spectrum of colours is there, and it is pleasant to look at. I feel the sunshine. I like also that the three colours have their own "shape": blue as diffuse background, green has the shape of edgy leaves and finally round red berries.
degral:
Clear and simple, I like that. The picture has all it needs. Two colours, and the writing is all it needs to make it interesting. I like that there is no shadow. No contrast in brightness makes the colour contrast even more prominent.
Tamia:
Ha ha, there is orange in the picture. I don't think my english is good enough to judge if this is a good or a bad pun. But as I tend to like puns no matter if they are good or bad... :-)
But at least it is a good idea to complement a blue plate with orange oranges, nothing else could be more appropriate. Also nice the extra contrast between the eaten and not eaten orange pieces.

I like abstract photos in general, but for this week's theme I find it especially suitable. I like the shapes of the colours, and of course the water drops make the picture much more interesting. Well done!
jcdoss:
Same as I wrote for Noel: I like abstract photos in general, but for this week's theme I find it especially suitable. The texture suggests the picture was shot through some kind of cloth? Anyway, it it a great effect, makes it look more like an abstract painting, not a photo. Well done!
JensE:
Clear and simple, I like that. The more I look at this picture, the more I like it. The diffuse tree shapes make a great bachground for the sharp shape of the star. And the raindrops make it even better. The picture makes me dream.
ramseybuckeye:
Who whould have thought that an ugly, barely covered concrete ceiling makes such a wonderful image? The colours are amazing! Also one of these pictures that I like more and more the longer I look at it.
And here are the winners:

Honourable Mentions:
Everyone else. I am serious with this. I think that this week all pictures were very close, and every picture was a very good interpretation of the topic.
