Colours operate at a deep inner level — the level of emotions. They make us feel in a certain way, and we often take them for granted. Orange is a symbol of luck. It also means warmth and the viewer will feel it. Orange gives energy and richness to our images in nearly all photographic categories. 

The many submissions are covering different categories, but all are spreading warmth and energy.

The winners with the most votes are: 
1st place : Markus Auerbach  
2nd place : Frances Bruchez  
3rd place : Luciano Caturegli  

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions and thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Orange' 

The currently running theme is 'Rural landscapes'
Capture the stillness ans simplicity of rural landscapes away from the city hustle and bustle. Photographing the essence of rural life is the key. Whether it’s the serenity of a quiet lake or the rugged charm of an old barn, these images invite the viewer to pause and ponder. It’s not just about making a visually appealing photograph but about creating an emotional connection with your audience.

This contest will end on Sunday the 22nd of September at midnight.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.
