Wow so many amazing entries - so wonderful to see all of these photographers coming out on Substack !

Thanks so much for feature Patrik, really appreciate it. And I’m glad you felt like it could be a scene in a movie, that was definitely what I was going for with that shoot.

I really can’t go past that butterfly, the colours and all, absolutely stunning

Agree with everyone here, wonderful entries this week and the interpretation is so varied. Thanks for picking my photo for one of the top 12, I’m glowing (had to link somewhere to the theme of vibrant!) 🤩

What a joyful post, Patrik! So much colour and vibrancy (of course) in miserable February. I somehow missed Isaac’s entry when I was looking through them earlier. A very worthy winner.

Thank you for doing these challenges, Patrik. They’ve become a happy Substack habit for me already.

So much vibrant colour! February lacks a bit of colour so this was a much needed escape from the otherwise dull month! Very worthy winner indeed, such a beautiful photo!

Thank you for participating, Miranda! Always such a pleasure seeing your beautiful photos!

I meant to add, the blue flower is an anemone. I have pots filled with them and they give me so much joy. They’re starting to emerge already, despite the early season.

A worthy winner chosen from such a high-class line-up. Hope to submit a picture of my own (if I dare!) when a relevant challenge comes along.

Very worthy winner for sure! Hope to see something from you moving forward, Mark!

Just out of curiosity, what kind of theme would you like to see for a challenge?

No problem Patrik. How about ‘Frost’ as a theme? (Not that I have a picture in mind or anything of course 😉).

Frost could definitely work as a theme, I'll consider it for a future challenge :)

Thanks!

Perfect choice! Colorful yet muted. I like it. I'm off to do a little commenting. I’m a little late but I had to do it when I have time and apparently I have time when I can’t sleep in the middle of the night.

Middle of the night or middle of the day, time doesn't matter :)
