Congratulations to all the other participants and finishers of the rainbow challenge and thanks a million to Mel
@m2016 for setting-up this challenge.

As so often I had something in mind, I would like to achieve. In this case it was this whole month of softish rainbow pictures that graduate from lighter colours to darkers… once I started I could not leave my path, what I often do with my ordinary daily pics. 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:
- Also in softer tones, it was far more difficult to get the exact tone, shade of a colour, or colour range to match the calendar, than I thought.
- It took me a lot of time and lots of attempts to get a (the) decent 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 never thought, I would ever squizze a tube of thoothpaste out of despair.)
- I learned that I often hide behind a black & white or a food pic, when everything else fails. No hiding this month.
- I learned last year that I’m not a colour person. Again 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 (copied this note from last year (17)): Never, never ever do it again! Please remind me, if I think of doing it again next year!
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.
Thank you all so much for your kind coments. It makes me happy, if you liked it.
