This one is pretty colourful:

love it.. not only hugely colourful but great texture in it too.

Overall on the subject of 'most colourful' I think it's important to be able to strike a balance between colourful and too colourful. Playing with the saturation and/or vibrance sliders is all well and good, but not if you end up with something that looks like the result of a bad trip (unless that's the look you set out to achieve of course).

I was going to go for the obvious 'kids in funderland' shot, but this is quite colourful and not as obvious

elven · 29-01-2009 1:03pm

cambo, that's a bit crazy. Yerman in the middle is coming out of my screen! Cool.

I just realised that I mostly have the saturation slider at -40. I'm finding that it's lovely to have colour that doesn't slap you in the face, that makes you appreciate it more for its subtlety. I also like rich colours, which I think are different from bright ones:

It really is quite something in the flesh, as it were. There are so many different things going on it's impossible to take everything in at once...after I took this, I was politely but firmly informed of the no photography rule and asked to put my camera away.

I generally have the saturation slightly negative as well and never above +5.

There are other ways to get nice deep colours, that to my mind are more natural that the saturation slider.

Personally, I'm a fan of slapping people with colour.

This may be because when they are printed, they're not quite as bright as on my monitor

Not the most garish colour pic I have, but I like the colours here.

Some nice shots here.

Took this one in Florida last summer, very little pp, these were the actual colours as a storm was just clearing!

GristlyEnd · 29-01-2009 2:02pm

Just the two colours but one of my favourites.

I keep p*mping the same photos over and again - I haven't touched the camera in six months.

GristlyEnd · 30-01-2009 11:52am

Might as well

Xiney · 30-01-2009 12:05pm

If you're all doing flowers, well then:

And one from autumn:

No. Merely evidence of the uploading system's continuing inability to take instruction. I think I was trying to hotlink and it did not like it.

What is all the blue around the out of focus and overexposed leaves in this pic? And the only colour is green and brown. I dont get it...

PopeBuckfastXVI · 04-02-2009 8:15pm

I guess I don't do colour that much looking at my snaps... I'll have to work on that... this one will probably hurt your eyes a bit, but it's definitely the most colourful I have...
