Welcome to Round 3 of the TiBB Photography Competition 2011. First of all, I have to announce that due to unforseen circumstances, Iceman has had to withdraw from the competition.

This week, contestants were given two themes - Colours and Foliage. Here is what they came up with!

Theme 1: Colours


Name: Colour Pile
Inspiration: I was in Art and Photography and i found lots of Colours and put them in a different order! I find it effective

Theme 2: Foliage


Name: Park View
Inspiration: I was walking through the park and decided it would be a great place for my picture. I love the park where i live and it has a great view from the top.

Theme 1: Colours


Inspiration: Colour is such a broad category; however inspiration came to be when I looked out my window and noticed the washing line pegs were colourful. I aimed to improve the substance of the photograph by hanging up patterned socks with these pegs and I made it more interesting by showing gradual distance.

Theme 2: Foliage


Inspiration: We have a fig tree in our front garden and decided to take that as my opportunity to produce a foliage photograph. I wanted the focus to be on a developing fig with leaves surrounding, which I managed with a close-up shot.

Theme 1: Colours


Name: Feel free to bump this thread, Beastie
Inspiration: I had originally decided to take a picture of me wearing a colourful hula necklace before deciding that'd be a bit cheesy, when my eyes fell upon my mother's sewing kit. Loads of threads nicely arranged, bingo.

Theme 2: Foliage


Name: Force of Nature
Inspiration: So since my backyard is an overgrown mess of weeds, moss and insects I decided it'd be perfect for this theme: as you can see the steps are quite unsafe but there's a decent amount of ivy, moss, tufts of grass and some other foliage reclaiming what man's paved over.
