Congratulations to all the other participants and finishers of the rainbow challenge and thanks a million to Mel

As so often I had something in mind, I would like to achieve. In this case, it was this whole month of saturated and bright rainbow pictures… once I started I could not leave my path, what I often do with my daily pic. Normally you will never now, what I had in mind, and how far, far away my result is.
(Only for me)
My rainbow challenge key learnings:
- It was far more difficult to get the exact tone or shade of a colour, to match the calendar, than I thought.
- It took me a lot of time and lots of attempts to get a (the) picture, and sometimes even longer to process to hit at least slightly my expectations. Cooking dinner for my husband, looking at other pictures and commenting suffered,… and I’m sorry for this.
- Sometimes I was not happy with the daily shot, but nevertheless did post it, hoping in the end, this piece would not carry weight.
- I should not do challenges in a challenge. What a crazy idea to do different themes for each week.
- I learned that often I hide behind a black & white or a food pic, when everything else fails. No hiding this month.
- Now I know that I’m not a bright colour person. This was far away from my comfort zone.
- I'm nevertheless pleased how the full month turned out. And I’m thinking of printing it or making postcards.
- Note to myself: Never, never ever do it again!
What I already knew: you are a great bunch of people out there, and I was glad to get such a lot of motivation and support. Thanks.
Did you have the month planned out before you started so that the colours lined up so perfect when viewed like this?
Thank you all so much for your comments and positive feedback. I'm so glad you like the collage of my rainbow month.
I just added the concept of bright, saturated colours and similar shades of the single colours and did some mini themes each week. Why? I do not know, just because.
