I suggest you to read judges’ thoughts before submitting your travel pictures:

Ken (blue): “I’d like to see some clever use of blue in a photo. While it is not obligatory, I’d like to get your take on the word blue, the colour blue, a splash of blue that captures the attention of the viewer or any other interesting non obvious way of using blue in a photo. Of course any of your favourite photos with blue in them will do just fine, but try to be original!”

Abi (green): “I’m looking for something unusual: an image from a place that makes me think of it in a whole new light. Show me something I’ve never seen before. Tell me about how the place relates to its people, their attitudes and their history. And make sure you had fun snapping it. Somehow, that always shows!”

Dave and Deb (yellow): “What I am looking for in the photos is a unique way for you to express the colours. Each colour should be an element of the photograph and not dominate the whole scene. I am looking for something beyond the clichés like a red sunset, blue sky or yellow flowers. For me originality will always take precedence over a pretty photograph.”

Christine (white): “I love photos that tell a story.  I want something that could have only been taken by you, in that moment, in that way.  I love it when a photo captures a place so well that even if I’ve been there before, I think to myself, wow, I have to go there.”

Daniel (red): “We see the world in beautiful colours, and in each photo, different colours compete to attract the eye. Colour in photography should be used not only to make an image pleasing, but to also direct the viewer to the main subject, grab his attention and tell a story. I especially like the use of complementary colours to create a harmonious balance in a shot.”

Here are my photos. Please click on image to see large picture.

BLUE

I love scuba diving and the first thing in mind about blue colour was water. It is such amazing feeling of freedom underwater with all fish around you.

GREEN

This photo is one of my favorite pictures from the trip to New Zealand. There is so much green colour in NZ. Especially on the west coast of South island because of rain. That part of New Zealand even has its own nick name – Wet Coast. I don’t think you need an explanation why it is called like that.

YELLOW

There is no much yellow in this photo, but that small yellow flower is so visible in the pink crowd. How did it get there? I never though the desert can be such colorfully beautiful. That is how looks Wadi Rum desert in Jordan in the spring.

WHITE

What can be white? Snow, sugar,  clouds…But in Australia it is sand. These curvy dunes are located on the border between South and Western Australia near Eucla village.

RED

This is one more picture from Australia. In most parts of Australia there is no 4 seasons and it is something special to see such colours there.
