I Would Like a Refund

Thank you all for the gorgeous COLOR shots! As you all know, it’s so much more fun to pick a winner when there are so many to choose from.

Starting with OldCrow’s magic flower globe, I just love seeing the burst of pink petals, highlighted by the pretty background bokeh. Nice!

Stiga’s red RED tomatoes with the green accents are absolutely mouthwatering. Beautifully shot.

Dilorenzo’s Bikes mural really catches my eye. I’m wondering if this piece of art is outdoors for everyone to enjoy? Really gorgeous art and photo.

Next up is Eidelweiss’s Fall color. Wow, nature can really put on a show here! It looks like you caught the trees at high peak, too. Just brilliant color.

RDWP, you have introduced me to a new poem! I had to look up Rose-moles and found your title in the poem “Pied Beauty”. The trout against the foil and ice make an interesting shot for sure! And I learned something in addition, so thank you.

Rwmson, I do believe you are entitled to a refund, lol. You’ve struck the Creative requirement and mastered the COLOR element. The black background is perfect for showing off the pencils. Well done!

I’m going to go with rwmson’s “I would Like a Refund” It ticks off all the boxes for me. dilorenzo1954’s “Bikes ‘R’ Us” is my runner-up followed closely by Eidelweiss’s “Fall color on Columbus day.”

Thank you all for playing this week.

Congrats to Roger! What’s next?

Oooh, I'm too late. I've been so busy and forgot the time. I'm sorry, Lesley. A great theme and great images.

Congratulations, Roger, Ed and Chris!

Way to go Roger! You too Chris!
Thanks for the nod Lesley. The mural is painted on the underpass to a local Metra station and the bikes belong to commuters.

Congratulations to Roger, Ed and Chris.

Congratulations, Roger, Ed and Chris!

And thank you, Lesley, for picking a colourful topic

Congrats to all! Well done!

Thanks Lesley and everyone. That photo was harder than expected to set up given that the pencils are round and like to roll around. It was like herding cats! Ended up having to cheat some with tape.

I too really liked Ed's Bike's 'R Us image. That's a great shot IMO.

Yelling voice, ACTIVATE! THE NEW COMPETITION IS POSTED HERE:
