This week’s photography challenge topic is the color BLUE!

Light trails at Blue Hour by Joey J

This is a fun challenge. You can capture the color blue in so many ways. You can use abstracts, blue hour, water monster photography, landscapes (so much blue there!), cityscapes, portraits and still life. The blue can be a major part of the composition or be more subtle. There are so many options!

So, check out these pics to give you some ideas, have fun, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
