 So... Here's the deal. (Not that I anticipate very many scrolling this far down in the standings to look for a description...)

I took this picture knowing these were cool colors. I edited this picture knowing these were cool colors. I even submitted this shot into the Cool Colors challenge. But picture doesn't feel cool to me. In fact, it feels very warm.

Then, I didn't know what to do. I moved it (more than once) back and forth between the challenges, eventually deciding to leave it here in Warm.

Don't ask me...

This image is strangely beautiful! That's a good thing, by the way. there is an essence of falshood to it, something is not as it seems, a contrivance, trick, illusion. when reality can be captured to represent imagination, a photograph truly exists.

...definitely warm. I feel like I've been there...staring at a wall wondering when the air will cool down.

This is terrific. There's something about it that really sings to me, though I can't put my finger on the song offhand :-) Warm greens, even a warm blue, don't let anyone argue otherwise.

I like the way you divided up the shot. Well done. I wish the wall was a more lively colour. Nice shot.

Beige could be considered warm, but the blue an dgreen are definitely cool colours.

The afternoon may be warm, but the colors are cool. I normally, don't like shadows, but you need it here to convey the time. The sky is great.

Not bad for a "no subject" shot ! I never have the nerve to enter something like this on DPC. Voters tend to like a strong focus point or a grand sea/landscape.

I always thought green and blue were cool colours.
