 The song lyrics from Cat Stevens Tea For the Tillerman´s album came to my mind when I looked for a title of this image, taken on the playground at one of the oldest primary schools in Reykjavik. Agains the black walls the colors of the children´s clothes fits into the theme of "burst of color" - and I had these children in mind as soon as the challenge was announced.

Color punched in Lightroom and the image cropped a little bit, exported to PS for levels and curves for some tonal adjustments; then resized, sharpened, framed and saved for the web.

Beautiful composition! Love how the bright colors just pop against the grey (lovely textured!) wall behind!

i like the crop and the contrast processing is nice on the wall but a bit heavy on the children

There is a lot to see in this image, which makes it standout. Nice job of processing.l

Totally love this. Going back to look at this, I hope you win, it's such a wonderful shot, with the stark grey building in the back ground, and the pop of colour from the girls clothing just wonderful . 10

I love this image! personally I am not too fond of the complete exclusion of color of parts of an image and I would have added some hazy nuance at the top of the picture. But I still like it a lot. 8

Havent worked through all the photos yet, but im inlcined already to have this one as my Blue. One 10 vote does not make a ribbon but this is still a brilliant take and the theme/title to it speaks volumes
