Could you please give more details as to what you are looking for when you say Colorful?

Are you looking for images with lots of color?

Can it be a photograph of anything or are you looking for specific subjects?

Thank you!

Well, color should be the main element on your pictures.

As you know, spectral colors can be matched or clashed, and there can be an interesting composition due to colors only. We can use one, two color gammas or more and their mixture influence on our feeling in different ways. They can excite, calm down and so on.

1. Here are the opposite colors.
blue and yellow from Randykeller and green and orange (nearly)

2. Two calm colors are the main. Also green and brown ranges from Chris L

3. Here is only one expressive color.

4. The blue color of a bird looks like a nuance in the whole one-gamma-composition (from Tojygeorge).

5. A color triangle. One more triangle.

6. This image is colorful, but no one element is pointed as a main with color. Also it has a lot of midtones. It's a little color chaos So it's not the one I wanted.

I liked triangles a lot Exclamation

Some time ago I ran across the nice colorful photos of cats in Greece by Hans Silvester. http://nastionra.livejournal.com/22324.html
(Idea! This book would be a great present for Christmas!)

Fanged_Orchid, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR). It's a technique when a photographer shoots several images with various exposure value and put them together (in Photoshop, for example).
