Fun action shot! Interestingly, the yellow takes more focus here than the red or green, but nice saturated colors and I'm sure it was fun to shoot!

I like this because the colours are there so you meet the challenge but the real stars of this shot are those children who are exuding the fun of childhood. I like that they fill the frame but still have somewhere to "go" down the big white slide.

Here is my two cents.
It meets the challenge.
With title and just looking at the picture I focus
on the young boy bouncing.
I think if the focus was more on the colors it may have score
higher with me.

Considering the nature of the bulk of available submissions under this topic, how refreshing to find one with a 'range' extending beyond 'topicality'. In other words, it can 'hold it's own', and will remain a great shot even after this challenge is over.

I'm so happy with this photo, I don't even mind the velcro! :-)

With the yellow between the green/red, and the space between the dark/light, I'm afraid this picture doesn't really say 'contrasting colours' to me. This might have been better in one of the other colour-related contests.

GREAT capture! Compositionally excellent and the colors are there.

Beautiful. I love the various expressions on the children's faces. The red shows towards the orange on my monitor. ~7

Fun photo! Nice stop action. Colors are vivid and well portrayed. I couldn't help but wonder what the contraption was on the flying boy's wrist. Is it helping him levitate? LOL

What a sweet candid! I love the way they are oblivious to camera and the way you've caught the one buy in midair is great.
The horizontal colour strips really add to the composition, though I wish there weren't such an expanse of white - it's a little glaring. I'm also not sure about the inclusion of the sides - especially the more dominant green side.
Overall, a nice candid with stronger composition than many similar types of images.

Top capture, you've frozen the moment perfectly here - 9.

you cant beat a picture with 4 kids having that much fun.

The bold colours make a great background for this shot. Might suggest cropping off some of the large amount of white at the bottom which doesn't add much. Great timing and lots of activity/ life. (8)

Good capture of the one kid up in the air.

Great expressions, but that yellow between the red and green makes the challenge relevance somewhat teneous.

Looks like they are having a great time :) Nice action capture as well... = 5

Nice fast exposure.

A GREAT shot but it doesn't really seem like the colours are that important so I feel it's lacking as a picture for this challenge.
