[AB22 Easy Tiger]

You have seven days to vote and can vote for as many as you like.

Voted for Madmackem. Judging on it being so bright and vibrant (my understanding of the theme)

special note to ICBYD's which I think is a fantastic shot but not 'punchy' enough for the theme IMO.

[minkey]

Stawbs for me. Love the sharp contrast.

[TiredEyes]

Biffabeercan - Nice idea, not enough colour contrast ooomph imo.

tom tom macute - Nice shot but clearly tonal contrast not colour contrast, doesn't meet theme imo.

ajax_andy - I'd of trimmed the right hand side.

MalmoMakem - I'd of cropped the bike wheel out and perhaps tried to position myself to remove that yellow bin in the background too.

minkeysteve - Lovely colours, perhaps not enough background colouring, just missed out on a vote.

smoker - Doesn't meet theme imo.

peachbum - Colour contrast but doesn't do anything for me.

paws - Colours looks way too fake/artificial for my liking.

MaDMaCKeM - Stunning shot, it looks 3D really like this, one minor quibble though, the distracting blue on the left but this months winner by a mile - VOTE

2310 Return - Doesn't really do it for me

Kid Galahad - Doesn't really do it for me.

Amnorrageordie - Doesn't really do it for me.

chinamackem - Evil looking cock.

Icarebecauseyoudo - Doesn't meet theme imo.

robcal - Nice contrast but doesn't do it for me, it's too empty, I'd of tried to make more use of the Olympic rings perhaps.

My Left Foot - Really nice shot, good colours, just missed out on a vote.

Minkeysteve and kidgalahad for me. Good colours. I found it hard to find something that wasnt just colourful and boring, been all over this month looking at all kinds of crap.Ended up taking photos in the living room of sweets on a window sill!
I got the 3d effect using bluetac and a cocktail stick.
Thanks for the votes guys

Haven't got enough life to comment on all of the photos, but my favourites were:

Minkey Steve
Lovely shot imo. Really like the vibrant colours and the almost symmetrical composition. I think it's a shame there wasn't more 'green' in the background though as I felt that that was main contrasting colour.

Smoker
Good idea and as always your night sky is fantastic. I just feel that it didn't quite meet the theme as it was the light trail which was the colour contrast and for some reason (in my male autistic brain) I feel the contrast needs to be a physical object (it probably doesn't, but my tiny mind can't cope with that.

Peachbum
I think you went with the same mindset as me; find two completely contrasting colours and take a photo of them, rather than thinking about it being an interesting photo. Your shot completely meets the theme but doesn't hold my interest.

MadMAckem
The colour contrast is fantastic and the depth of field gives it more interest as it got me wondering what the yellow and greens are. vote

Love this photo, great shot and really stands out having a black background. Loads of contrasting colours in the skin which just about meets the theme imo. vote

ICareBecauseYouDo
I love this photo. Stunning landscape and great colours. However, it was let down for the same reason as Smoker's shot didn't get a vote - my brain can't cope with not having an object of completely contrasting colour which my eye is drawn to. I'm almost tempted to use MSPaint to draw post box half way down the hill.

Well done to everyone, some good shots, but the above were my favourites.

I think ICBYD and I fell into the trap of trying to make photographs that weren't just about colour contrast.
