DP Now Salon Competition no. 74 - Bright Colours

Re: DP Now Salon Competition no. 74 - Bright Colours

Nice theme. Here's my effort:

Tim, your image isn't showing and I can't manage to fix it. Can you try using the 'My Pics' link - the link beneath the Smilies. If you click on that your gallery pics will open in a pop-up window. Just choose the picci you want to display then select "Inline' and 'Original Image' from the dropdown menus along the top of the pop-up window.
The 'My Pics' link is the quickest and easiest way to show a gallery pic in a forum posting.

P.S. All sorted now. The 'My Pics' link is still the quickest and easiest but the other alternative is to use the image link from the medium image but remove medium from the url and that enables the original image to be displayed instead of the smaller(medium) version.

Hiya Pol. Thanks for eventually getting the link sorted - I appreciate it.

Stephen called over earlier and gave me a quick course in posting images here at DPNow, so in future there should be no problems...............at least not relating to the linking of forum posts to gallery pics, anyway

Here's mine for the pot (excuse the pun). Brightly coloured (by crustacean standards!)

This is going to be tough to judge! Some cracking images. Just a few hours left if anyone wants to make any last-minute entries.

Re: DP Now Salon Competition no. 74 - Bright Colours

The salon is now closed. Thanks for all your entries - I'll hopefully post the results later on this afternoon. Wish me luck, this is going to be really hard to judge!

Re: DP Now Salon Competition no. 74 - Bright Colours

And the winners are...

Third place: Autumn - a lovely composition, with no distracting background elements, and it certainly fits the theme of bright colours perfectly,

Second place: Bearface - a very interesting light in this one, with the chains leading the eye into the frame perfectly. The deep blue of the sky sets off the coloured houses nicely.

First place: Jojo - a fascinating subject. Is this a native UK species? I love it! The 'bokeh' background really makes the subject stand out too.


Special mention to Stephen - I realy, really wanted to fit your image into the top three as well, and it was a tough decision not to.

So thanks, everyone - a very interesting selection of images.

Over to Jojo!

Re: DP Now Salon Competition no. 74 - Bright Colours

Well blow me down - didn't expect to take that one! To Tim and Audrey and yes, Stephen's was pretty sublime too! Thank you RI for a subject that, on the face of it seemed easy, but did prove challenging. I'll get my thinking cap on and post the next theme tomorrow.

p.s. By the way it's a "Sally Lightfoot" crab from the Galapagos Islands (I have been very fortunate to have visited these islands and can only describe them as utterly amazing; would go back at the drop of a hat).

p.p.s Found this on Wikipedia: "Apparently Sally Lightfoot crabs are thought to have been named for a sultry nightclub dancer from Guayaquil, whose alluring performances in her red and yellow dress, captivated 19th century sailors."
