Had to vote for robertm's picture. I love that color. On a side note, you can get those shades by mixing alizarin crimson and hooker's green if you are painting.

I noticed there is another group of photos. ZZ, are we to vote for just 1 photo, or 1 from each group?

I love the range of colours in Christina's. Did you use any filters to get that effect?
 
I went with robertm. very cool and unreal
 
Special thank to binzing! But my vote goes for robertm!
 
I had to go with Chi, that color and the moon makes me want to lie on my back and look up at the sky.

RobertM's is gorgeous, but Chi's just tugged at me. Chi, can you untie these ropes now?
 
~Chirstina~

It reminded me of Starry Starry Night

I was torn between ~christina~ and robertm - robertm squeaked out a win finally. The colors are just so dramatic.
 
  • #14
Ah, ok. Thanks Lisa!(!)

I think its pretty good considering I was about 10 and really didn't know my shutter speed from my f-stop.

Overall, great pictures all.

Ah no..the problem was that I was behind a window with curtains. I liked the effect it produced though. :smile:
