Pink!

Both colorful and tactile. I love those water droplets--and the crispness of your non-edit.

I've never had occasion to see a Lumix in person, but I always hear such great things about that brand. Now I see why. This attractive of a pink straight out of camera is incredible.

I second Lynn's comment below. Filling the frame like this is very nice.

This is a wonderful presentation. The peppers are the perfect textural choice for making so much color the star of the show.

Soft and bold. A rare visual combo! And wonkish to boot. This was one of my challenge favorites--really expected it on the front page for sure.

A wonderful find. I'm shamelessly a fan of pink.

I figured this must be one of yours, and I'd say you framed it beautifully even without a crop. Love the interaction between them in this capture, too--almost like one is whispering "hey, there's someone pointing a camera at you" to the other. :-D

It's so crazy to imagine seeing birds this large and colorful just hanging out in one's own backyard. We get painted buntings--close in color, but they're so tiny. I'm still on the hunt for a good shot of one.

A favorite for me in the challenge. I can only guess at the context, but this sure reminds me of a couple times I've been to EDM concerts, when the pre-show lights on the not-quite-full floor are as good as the music itself. Especially with a phone camera that can do them justice.

I mean this as a compliment: This feels like something from an IKEA catalog. :-)

This is the second time a "black" bird has caught my attention here at DPC recently because of a presentation that makes it look this colorful. Such a fitting capture, and one of my top picks.

Flower abstract perfection--with enviably good color fidelity (especially knowing this wasn't corrected in post (!). This was my top pick in the challenge.
