***Official BimmerPost Photo Contest #15: Colors that Pop***

Bright Colors - This contest is all about colors that POP. The photo can consist of multiple colors, a single color among black and white or just about anything has a bright color or colors. You get the idea.

Awesome shot though.


Also dcstep has an amazing shot. Just need to resize it down to the 800px limit for the poll.

I need to stop being lame and lazy and enter this one.....

Oops, thanks for the heads up. I rushed it up without thinking about size.

No worries! Is that from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta? I used to live in Santa Fe years ago (23 to be more precise....) The Balloon Fiesta was always really cool to check out. Never did go up in one though.

That was at the Colorado Classic Balloon Fest, down in Colorado Springs, earlier this month. They had about 75 balloons this year, down from about 130 last year, I was told.

I've got a few more in a Set on my Flickr site if anyone's interested.

Got a question here. And this *is not* meant to be critical of any image. I just want to see how people feel about post processing. When looking for something like "colors that pop," an image can be manipulated in PS to do just that. But at what point does it cease to be a photo contest and start to be a Photoshop contest?

I know this an old discussion, but in some of the more recent contests that have more to do with color/contrast/lighting, etc, Photoshop skills have played a role. The was not as much the case on earlier contests which revolved around themes or content.

These days virtually all images are processed to a certain extent, even in the camera itself with white balance corrections and such. But when, if ever, is there "too much" post processing?
