You're right. It is only "a bit".

Green is a colour too

A bit of colour

We have a winner, superb composition, plenty of colour. I may as well give up.

Meh. Obviously I'm grateful to chlorophyll but green is one of my least favourite colours. I view it a bit like black, white, grey, etc: more of a background hum than actually colourful.

Do I detect the smallest hint of irony in your post?

Not at all. I think that photo deserves to win. The subtly of shade, including that rock in the background. Superb.

I don't want it to be too colourful......winning is my aim.

FIFY

O come, it is the last colour that shows in dusk, the colour that makes dayglo restful.

It's claustrophobic.

You can say it all you like. We won't take any notice.

It's claustrophobic.

Strictly speaking a colour cannot be claustrophobic.

I only got one chance to take a colourful picture of my bike today, as it admired the amazing Anderton Boat Lift. This was the cafe stop on the Sky Ride I went on today.

I've not seen it from that angle before and its only about 6 miles from where I live
Its rather like the local café which is too close to really stop at, mind you we now have 2 that qualify for that. The one at Delamere Forest, sorry make that 3... the 1 at the forest CP, the one at Delamere station and the new one on the Whitegate Way at the old Whitegate station house.

green is my favourite colour! There are so many different shades of it and when it is backlit by the sun especially in spring it has the most amazing qualities.

Looking out of the window, I see a green paddock bordered by hedgerow and green trees. The gentle swaying of the leaves is relaxing and I appreciate that the plants in the hedge are a different shade of green to, for example, the majestic oak in the corner, but the only reason it's not overpowering is that it's topped by an open blue sky and broken up with the browns of the branches and fence posts, the orange bailer twine caught in the wire, the dull silver of the metal gate.

I love the warmth of summer, the long days, the endless skies, but much prefer the vivid colours of autumn, when the sickly pallor of summer gives way to rich and earthy tones.

It all depends on your ontological stance.

Can you explain how a colour can be afraid?

You have no poetry in your soul!
