City of Color

I am so grateful to actually be getting out of my house this week. Today we went downtown to Findley Market for the first time. I was enjoying shooting in the city for a change.

This colorful scene is for my get pushed all about color challenge this week to brighten up my dull album:).
Someone has really gone to town with the colour on that recess. Great find. Nice colourful shot!

More popping color from you! It is beautiful!!!!!! I don't think of your album as dull though.
March 29th, 2013  
Lovin' these colours.

Smashing shot, and yes, very colourful.
March 29th, 2013  
Very cool shot. Such great elements with the bright painting and the distressed wall xx

What a superb find! The colors are like a festival~

Definitely colorful! I find just the hint of blue distracting. Since it's your crop week, it seems, I'd have either gone wider for more blue or cut it out entirely.

What a great scene you've captured. The colours are so pretty and happy feeling!

What a great colors. Nice find.

I don't think you could have found brighter color if you tried. What a fun place! It's such a great backdrop for the little potted plants.
March 30th, 2013  
Fab find and capture! Love the vibrant colors!
March 30th, 2013  
Great response to your challenge! The color pops out!
March 30th, 2013  
Looks like your city is very bright and vibrant at the moment!

Woohoo - love that section of pure unrestrained stripiness!
March 30th, 2013  
@archaeofrog Oh lady...I hear ya! It was like I was shooting drunk yesterday. All my photos (well most) were VERY crooked. I shot it composed intentionally with the blue shutter, but had to straighten it more and lost most of it. I loved it, I wanted it...I could not lose it. Totally appreciate your feedback, though, my sweet friend!
March 30th, 2013  
@amandal I have definitely been there. I get home and can't give out HOW I didn't notice how skewed everything can be!
March 30th, 2013  
It was even still crooked, but I could NOT lose that blue. I wanted it that much! @archaeofrog :)
March 30th, 2013  
Great colorful capture. You only needed a woman watering the plants ;)
March 30th, 2013  
@seanoneill LOVE your comments and that you liked this one, too. I adored it. Thanks so much for the fav. So when shooting it, I composed with the blue shutter on the left. There was much more of it in the shot, but it was all crooked. I even left it a bit crooked because I was not willing to lose that shutter out entirely. It kills me that I shoot that way so often. Maybe I need to shoot less linear things!

A gorgeous splash of colour in a dreary surroundings. Love it! BTW I'm glad you didn't crop the blue.
March 30th, 2013  
Great spot, love the colours in this one
March 30th, 2013

I am incredibly behind in commenting, so here goes trying to get caught up a bit. This splash of color is awesome. It look like something one might find in the tropics. I have seen settings like this in the out islands of the Bahamas.

@june @barbsmith Thanks so much, ladies. I adored all that color!
April 3rd, 2013  
It's amazing what you can find, I love this. It looks so natural compared to a lot of my own shots.
April 3rd, 2013  
@ejlockett You are sweet. I just looked and your shots are so lovely and natural. I was happy to find all this color in the middle of a bad part of town.
