Since no one has asked this already. What does this mean? Yellow, as in a mood? Yellow, as in being scared? Yellow, as in slang for "hello"?
Your assistance is yellowly appreciated.

Well, if I go with the color interpretation of the word yellow, how will I know that my monitor's calibration will match that of the viewer's? I mean, I don't want to hear how orange-ish my yellow photo is.

Then I suggest you include a calibration feature with your photo that automatically calibrates the monitor.
I have not had any complaints about color since I began including this feature with my entry.
If you don't know how to do this maybe you should enter a black-n-white shot and have the word YELLOW in your title.

ahh haa now your thinking! And I have a solution... For the voters, we only need to simply print out a copy of the photo and then take it down to the local hardware store. They have a computer color matching system for paint that will scan your pic and then match a paint color to it... Most of the custom colors have names, and if it is a name that includes yellow, then your on target.. however, if it ends up being something ambiguous like "frosted sunshine", well then you might have to find another method to determine if the color is really yellow or not... anyway, I think the best idea is just to do a representation of yellow... and that one is easy... just go take a picture of all the anti-war protestors that seem to be popping up.... :oP

It doesnt say the COLOUR has to be the challenge, it says yellow IS a colour, but not the colour yellow is the challenge.

When all is said and done, our jawboning in here doesn't mean a thing. It means whatever the voters say it means. Take alternate definitions at your own peril.

A better representation of yellow would be the shirking of a social responsibility to the third world by a country that exploits it for cheap labour, resources and, when struggling with the 'incomprehensible' reality that some might fight back against this oppression, bombs the hell out of it. Take a photo of your president. |

Tony, yellow snow is definitely in. I wanted to write my name in the snow, but it was just too darn long... Jacques Lucien Doucette. I opted for another subject.

| I did mine on a candle. I dunno, whenever I make a shot it never feels like I've spent enough time on it, but this one turned out ok. Probably not ribbon material, but... |

"You have to admire people like that. It takes a lot of courage, after all, to stand up in a coffee house or college auditorium and sing about peace and justice and brotherhood and all the other things that the audience is against."
--Tom Lehrer, from the introduction to The Folk Song Army
I believe it is documented that the US Commander in Chief (as designated by the Supreme Court) never reported as ordered for duty with his National Guard unit, and is therefore AWOL and subject to Court Martial proceedings should he ever be apprehended.
In the meantime I'll just stay apprehensive... |

Is it? I get so angry at the 'war to prevent war' argument, or the spending of billions of dollars to fight something that could be prevented by treating the world's developing countries with respect. The so-called 'war on terror' is nothing more than a giant squashing bugs for its own economic gain. What about North Korea? Where's the foreign policy decision on that? I agree that Saddam Hussein is a dictator that needs to be replaced, but not for the wrong reasons. Not for oil. While the world is handcuffed by this US witchhunt, keep in mind that approximately 30,000 children die every single day from starvation around the world. That's 10 world trade center disasters a day, all filled with children, all possibly prevented. Where's the outrage over that? Which is the bigger crisis? |

And how about the 4000 per DAY who die in the US from tobacco-related disease? I don't see any tobacco executives in Federal prison...The "war on drugs" seems skewed towards drugs which benefit (economically) poor brown people, while the goverment subsidizes the deadliest, owned by rich white guys.
Personally, I think any government which declares war on its own cizentry has forfeited its moral and legal authority to rule in any democratic system.
Yellow...how about classic tobacco-stained fingers? Or the jaundiced eyes of an alcoholic or hepatitis sufferer...perhaps just a nice puddle of bile...

| If you want a good score you better damn well have something with the color yellow in your photo. For the Blue challenge I submitted a picture without a single drop of blue in it. It was a leaf with frost, signifying that blue is assosciated with cold, got a low score untill it got DQed for a some stupid single pixel border, before borders were allowed. |

I checked mine with the Photoshop densitometer...if it's any consolation, I had one of those "accidental padding" incidents early on...and survived. Don't be afraid to be creative. |

sorry, but i have to disagree with you, General. drugs benefit no one! they are a blight on humanity...ALL humanity...regardless of the color of your skin. drug dealers are not noble men who use their money to better their community. they are base and immoral people who would willingly sell to a 10 yr. old child as long as they were paid what they asked. the "war on drugs" is a war in which every person in the world should want to enlist.
i realize that, as a smoker, i'm not part of the "cool" crowd. but, the last time i checked, smoking (and alcohol) was still legal for people past the age of consent. and i am not nearly as likely to cause injury or death to anyone while i'm under the influence of tobacco. as for your comment about a country declaring war on it's own citizens, i agree. "war" has definitely been declared on cigarette smoking. before long, i won't even be able to smoke in my OWN home. i understand that this is a vile habit and i'm well aware that i need to quit...but...the decision is mine to make
i apologize if i've insulted you. it wasn't my intention. please feel free to send me a private message with any comments.
and now...back to our previously scheduled program. (already in progress) :)

Well said jimmythefish,I think you would have to be EXTREMELY gullible to believe bush dosent want to attck Iraq for economic gain (OIL)
Korea on the other hand is a real danger but not economically viable for america thats why the reluctance for action.
Anyway thats a tad off topic.....YELLOW hmmm
