Assignment 25 - Color! - Congratulations Neuroanatomist!

[Dr Croubie]

Mmm, interesting topic. So many brightly coloured birds, butterflies, a few years' worth of dutch flowers, and a whole stack of orchids in Singapore Airport to choose from.


But in the end i've settled on this one, I can't go past the subtle different blues offset by the very iridescent-looking jellysquish. Taken at Blijdorp Zoo in Rotterdam (which translates as HappyTown Zoo, how quaint) earlier this year.


50mm f/1.8 ii @ f/1.8, iso200, 1/60s. Not much PP except for RAW conversion, colour saturation even at -1 because it looked too weird at default, and a bit of cloning specs of dust off the glass.

I finally have something I can enter that doesn't get put to shame by all of the great images in these contests!

Thanks to a patient daughter, this is my entry

I've decided to make this one my submission instead of the red corvette. Although, this one looks lots better IMO when viewed with flickr's black background ...

Here are three where color is a main element, from the hues of the plant kingdom to the golden glow of sunrise. The <span style="text-decoration: line-through;"]firstsecond will be my entry, based on initial polls... (and thanks, all!)
