1. Protect that camera!

   1. I didn’t but got away with it lol

2. There was a Colour Run in Poland too – in Warsaw, Kraków and Poznań 😀

   1. Yes they are very popular and great photo opportunities

3. Terrific shot, Scott, and completely unexpected. Personally, I wouldn’t crop it because it seems nicely balanced to me every bit of it tells a story, but I’d be interested to see what you might do to it.

   1. I did a different cop on Instagram effectively remove the shadowy chap on the left and the guy far right made it more focussed I thought

4. It’s a great image, but I find the guy in the shadows of the extreme left rather distracting. Rather than looking at the main action (the women being showered in orange), I found myself trying to figure out what that mystery figure was doing and why he was there? If it were my shot, I’d definitely crop him (her?) out.

   1. I agree – I did a different cop on Instagram effectively remove the shadowy chap on the left and the guy far right made it more focussed I thought

5. … perhaps also remove the disembodied hand hanging off the flap of the box.

   1. great spot Murray – completely missed that

6. Not quite Holi. Perhaps you could add a few thousand Indians.

   I think you can lose the person in the background on the far left. I also agree that removing the tape and pole would be a good idea. Should be fairly straightforward except for the area round the box on the far right which may be tricky to get right.

   1. I agree – I did a different cop on Instagram effectively remove the shadowy chap on the left and the guy far right made it more focussed I thought – I have also removed the tape – we shall see how it does in the club competitions

7. My daughter signs up for charity runs frequently. She did a Color Run in Denver last summer and I was too concerned to go and photograph her…. not wanting me AND the camera caught in the color. I did get some great shots of her at the Mud Run 🙂

   1. Yes mud stays where it is supposed too – I was staying back with my zoom – the winds were light but still go covered in colour -they are cracking fun though

8. Nice one! hope that colour powder is not flammable.

   1. cheers Graham – just as well if people were smoking around me – ha ha

      1. I’d been thinking about the incident in Taiwan: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3141668/More-200-people-badly-hurt-explosion-Taiwan-amusement-park-coloured-powder-sprayed-crowd-ignites.html

      2. blimey – I was unaware of this Graham – horrific scenes – but it’s always raining here so we would probably be fine – ha ha

      3. There is that 😉

9. This is such a cool photo, with so much going on, and I love the strong colour in it. Each of the figures tells a different story, but all have a common theme. I imagine it might not be too easy to crop, personally I find the red and white tape a bit distracting but I wouldn’t know how you’d loose that except photoshop it out. I am quite drawn to the two women who are just being doused in orange, their facial expressions and their body poses/movements. You said you had some ideas, I would love to see what you make of it, this is an exciting image to start with. I am sure it will turn out well, whatever you do or don’t do to it, as it is brilliant even as it is.

   1. I have cropped both the shadowy left figure and right figure completely – I have removed the red tape and pole which took more time than I expected. I may post the result to get some thoughts but probably will decide on which shot I will enter with – almost certainly the crop 🙂
