I like this alot. Is that a teddy bear tied to the yellow light??? It suits the challenge IMO and I like the dark dim street with the punch of yellow to grab your attention.

Night Purple Haze

Very pretty and it has the POP factor. It seems a tad out of focus and then maybe repaired with unsharp mask. Or maybe I need to go to sleep and look again in the morning!! Very vivid - love the purple tones!

The Yellow House
by Beagleboy

Comment:
I wish the yellow house were in focus - as it is, it is like an afterthought. I'd like to see it in focus, and the foreground more blurred. But I still like the image - I might even saturate the yellow a tad more. Maybe as it is, use the lasso, and then do unsharp mask just on the house to sharpen it up a bit. 7

The Old Pump

I think the border ruins the impact of the turquoise pump for me. I'd like it with a simple black one, or maybe none at all.

Boulevard of Java Dreams (ala Gottfriend Helnwein)

To me, this suits the challenge perfectly. That one spot of POW amidst the drabness of tones in the rest of the shot. To be honest, I wish the green and white Starbucks sign weren't there, it distracts a bit for me. 8

Otherwise Bleak

I love the perspective and the clarity. The tilt suits the image too. All of the lines, both in the brick and the up and down of the bars is great duplicity, BUT to me, color was supposed to offset the subject. Maybe all of her colors are offsetting her from the rather drabness of the wall and metal columns but I took it to mean that maybe just one bright patch of color. I think if it were just her mittens, or just her hair that were more the focal colors, it might suit me more, although if I were just to see this NOT in a challenge, I'd rave on and on. OH, I just did. . . . . I'm still staring at it and it's growing on me. I think I see your point and the title kind of explains your intent. Ok, now that I've written a novelette... I'll vote. 8

I Never Saw a Purple Cow...

This is f-ing hilarious. You took the literal direction of the challenge and ran with it. HURRAH for you!! This has a definite POW factor and Andy Warhol would have loved it!! Bravo for your orginality.

Oh and by the way, we had a 48 purple DeSoto that my mother inherited from an aunt and guess what we called it????

I usually don't go for target centered subjects, but this works, with the trees leaning into it like lacy fingers. I love the sky!!!

I think the burst sense would have been better had the background not been so similar to the hat. Cute picture nonetheless.
