For this week’s Lens-Artists’ challenge (HERE) the team has invited photographers to share an “interpretation of blue—the color, the mood, or the time of day. It’s up to you.”
I would like to take this opportunity to share a few more “street shots” (From June 2018 – Richmond, VA – © Priorhouse):
LET’S START WITH….
A MAN WITH BLUE SHORTS
NEXT:
A MAN WITH BLUE SHIRT (NEXT TO OLD GREEN BATHTUB FILLED WITH COLORFUL FLOWERS)
AND…
NOW A LADY WITH BLUE SKIRT NEAR THE TREE WITH BLUE LIGHTS
NEXT: DUDE WITH BLUE CAP AND DUDE WITH BLUE CHAIR
BLUE HUE AT CONCERT:
NEXT:
MEN WITH BLUE T-SHIRTS. THEIR T-SHIRTS SAY, “FINISHER”
DOESN’T THAT HAVE AN INSPIRING SOUND?
FINISHER.
YES – LET’S FINISH SOMETHING IMPORTANT AND CELEBRATE IT OVER PIZZA – WITH GOOD FRIENDS – AND LET’S BE PROUD OF FINISHING:
NEXT – A REMINDER FROM A T-SHIRT:
NEXT: BLUE ROPE – SECURELY TIED (LET’S STAY THE COURSE – TIE YOUR LINE AND GET GOING… be a finisher…)
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE NEED TO – “SECURE THE LINE” – YES – BE DETERMINED TO STAY THE COURSE AND BE THE FINISHER.
THAT IS MY TAKE ON BLUE!
NOW OVER TO YOU…

(EN) My favorite photo is the lady with blue skirt and the nice description you give.I mean each skirt coordinated with items,the left,the center and right side.It works like a painting.😉
(IT) La mia foto preferita è la donna con la gonna blu e la bella descrizione che dai. Intendo che ogni gonna è coordinata con gli oggetti, il lato sinistro,il centro e il destro. Funziona come un dipinto. 😉

I did not realize the painting connection but you are so right! And I love how sometimes photography elements are art elements overlap – and in this photo – I was taking a picture of a cute toddler ballerina in yellow and they just walked into my frame and out of it

I like all of them, but particularly that impossible (but effective) combination of blue with the green bath, the nautical themed ones, and the motivational T-shirt.

I like the one with the lady in the blue skirt. You have an outstanding association to see the match or coordination of the colors. Well done. As far as skirts, I like the red one.

Yes – I like the red one and the blue skirt has an 1980s mom feel (but not judging at all ) and this image seems to be a fav with readers –
