Assignment: "Vivid"

[Saralonde]

This week's assignment is "Vivid". Nice, bright color can grab your attention or add energy to your shot. It can draw attention to your subject or be a subject itself but the color should be an important part of your shot. How did you use vivid color in your image?



As always, the rules...Please note the change in closing time.

1. Your image you submit should be taken between the 11th of March and the 25th of March. Each week as an assignment closes on the Wednesday, it will be AUTOMATICALLY deemed *CLOSED* after 8am GMT ( 3am EST) and any posts after that time will not be eligible for the assignment competition.

2. Your post must include "Assignment: Vivid" (to show your permission to count it for the contest) and the date the picture was taken (to show that it is a valid entry).

3. EXIF data should be intact. It helps if you can include the main points (including camera, lens, date taken, ISO, shutter speed and aperture) in the text of your message.

4. Only one entry per member (if you can't restrain yourself until the end of the first week you can post two or three separate pictures but your entry should be in a separate post and the only marked with the text above).

5. Remember the cross-site image size limit (800px on the longest side).

6. If the image does not exist in post at the end of the contest, it is disqualified. If you modify anything on flickr and re-save the image then the link is broken and the message needs edited to link the picture again before it will be included in the contest.
For everyone, please do not repeat other people's photos by quoting them until the contest is over. If you want to comment on or discuss an entry you can use a link to it (or just delete the picture from the quoted text).

7. If you are looking for the winners of the mini-contest, please check the front page of the DPS blog Saturday late afternoon (EST).

Next week's challenge is "Shallow Depth of Field". Check out some of these posts in the DPS blog.
