Colorful Colours by taffy

Colorful Colours

Word for today is colour (or color in our end of the world). I liked the idea more than the execution and don't have the time to keep going. Crayons taken with long exposure, then processed in small planet with a little tweaking. Disappointing. Oh well.

Kind of kaleidoscopic and certainly cheerful!

@eyesmile @pamknowler @leananiemand @salemslot @salza @twr @ness50 @kwind @exposure4u @nicholemm @pocketmouse @cmsfk70 @jnadonza @friend2303 Thank you thank you thank you! I'd really been somewhat disappointed in the way it turned out because it wasn't what I'd had in mind, but you have all made me feel wonderful -- what a lovely way to end the day. Thank you for your supportive comments, helping me see the beauty in the swirls, and the fun of the shot!

I don't think it's disappointing, I love the richness of colours and the abstract swirl!
September 18th, 2013  
Wow, this is so very beautiful. And very colourful, too.
September 18th, 2013  
Disappointing? I think not! Great colors!!!
September 18th, 2013  
Its weird how we get disappointed when our ideas don't come out the way we expect BUT we still manage to appeal to our audience with our results. This definately appeals to me :)
September 18th, 2013  
Why disappointed, it looks to cheerful and colorful.
September 18th, 2013  
Very colorful..clever idea...:)
September 18th, 2013  
Very cool!
September 18th, 2013  
Worth the effort! Very colorful and intriguing.
September 18th, 2013  
I think it is quite lovely! A nice twist on a simple subject matter!
September 18th, 2013  
@calm Loved your pun -- 'twist'! Thanks for the view and the comment -- I appreciate it, Cathy.

@yaorenliu I was diisappointed because the image I had in mind was a sort of blurred macro in the form of http://365project.org/tishpics/365/2013-09-17 - @tishpics shot. But I couldn't get the color combination right or the balance of the crayons. I ended up doing this shot as a backup because I was frustrated at the other ones. But in the light of day today, I'm happier with it -- it just wasn't what I'd spent most of my time trying to create. Weird how that shapes how I look at a shot rather than letting the shot stand on its own!

Love the colors and the swirls!
September 18th, 2013  
Fav! Love the colours and effect, really intriguing effect. This is how the world must look on LSD!
September 18th, 2013  
So vibrant
September 19th, 2013  
pretty shot
September 19th, 2013  
I'm glad you liked this picture after you had time to get over it not being what you wanted, because it is really good; colorful and full of energy. You are using small planets really creatively.

@danielwsc It's a really fun app, Daniel. Once I stopped trying to do the buildings and use it for other things, it was actually a more interesting app to play with. I do have a few building shots I may eventually post if I need a filler down the road. But it's so much more fun doing abstract stuff with it.
September 19th, 2013  
I love this! The colours are vibrant and so much fun!

Re-dor for the etsooi-19?
September 25th, 2013  
@mikegifford A good idea -- editing it like crazy would be fun! If only I could actually submit...or I guess I could, just not make it eligible for the top 5!
