edited April 9, 2004 in The Dgrin Challenges
Here's your photo assignment for this week: Blue.




  • Photos must be fresh - taken this week, not stuff you've got hanging around on your computer.
  • Blue means the primary focal point of your image should be the color blue.
Have at it.



Advanced spin: Maximum zoom (over 100mm). Post EXIF data if you are submitting for this category. Photoshoppery is acceptable in this assignment (I.e. you may change the color of an object).

    OK, I admit it. This is a garbage shot. However, it does meet the criteria. ;-)

    Chew on this for a while...
    My dog brought this over while I was setting up for the car shots. It was blue so what the heck...gotta love the holes she's chewed in it (don't let her get near your garden hose).

    I think you need to remove the "wannabe" from your signature. That's a
    magnificant shot!

    Nice. I like how you mirror the blue in the vase with the artifically blue
    lemon. Very creative.
