Community Photo Challenge-COLOR

This month's subject is color...but NOT just color. We want to see you create something special color-wise. Something your camera did not see. Something you saw in the photo and created in post processing.

There are a lot of ways color can be used:

1. Selective color...create a black and white or other monochrome photo with just a touch of color...blue eyes, a child's red jacket, whatever you choose, but make most of the image monochrome.

2. Play with the different color modes in your photo editing software. Create a duotone, or make a monochrome using something other than black & white or sepia.

You can post a colorful image... Can be of one color, 2 colors or MANY colors. You do not need any photo editing programs to join in.

This challenge is limited only by your imagination so get out there and IMAGINE COLOR!

So come & join in the challenge, if you haven't joined in yet, this is a great challenge to start!!

Remember to post your images on your blog, come back here & click on the blue button on the bottom, left side of this post. Follow the easy directions. You can only post one image here, but as many as you want on your blog.

Transportation Challenge

Martha from Color Carnival & Menagerie is using a new system for posting your links to our blogs, I think it's a great way to get everyones links & images on the challenge blog. This system does all the work.
Thank you Martha!
I am copying & pasting Martha's simple directions here.

When you click to play you will enter the URL of your post, your name and your email. After that you will click "next" which will show images available on your post. It's ok if you prefer to use your profile photo/avatar, but it would make a beautiful display if you click the image that you are using for your challenge photo. So far I love the new Inlinkz!

Now all I ask is that if you already added your link to the comment section we will need you to add it again, but click on the blue link. Go to Transportation post below this entry.
