MPC #144 - Splash of Color 10/21-11/24

Happy Fall Feeling Achieved

With stick season upon most of us, capturing an image with lots of great colors is difficult. Lets see what kind of photos can be captured that include a bright spot of color. Images with small splash color that occur naturally and those that have been processed to highlight a particular spot are allowed.

RULES:
1. Photos must be taken within the time period of the contest.
2. You may submit 3 photos during the competition.
3. The contest moderator will choose 5 (or 6) photos to be voted on.
4. The winner will get a happy feeling in his/her pants. (That is a rule by the way, not an option.)
5. In the event of a tie, the contest moderator will have the deciding vote.
6. Winner will be the contest starter/moderator for the next comp.
7. The winner has 3 days to start a new contest or 2nd place becomes the new winner.
8. And have fun.

Usually not my style, but I thought this would look cool with a single-color treatment. Taken in Moab this past weekend:

One more day left and only 9 pictures so far (between 7 people). Good entries so far but I'd like to have at least 12 to choose from.

Perhaps extend through the weekend?

Perhaps extend through the weekend?

I'm going to extend this MPC through the weekend and give it a bump with a thread in the Padded Room.
