I'll comment later.
In this round I was looking for pictures that don't just happen to contain the colour of the category, but in which the colour is an important ingredient. I was also looking for "real" colours, not heavily photoshopped pictures. Some otherwise nice pictures therefore didn't make it, for example "Red Boxes" or "Red Hot Music". There were also two pictures I wouldn't have known where to put if the photographers hadn't told me - "Highland and Water", a cute picture, contains lots of colours, and the red doesn't seem that dominant; and in "Finger Food", the "yellow" looks more orange to me, and the red seems equally important.
"Pollen" is a great picture, very well done technically, beautiful, and fitting the category very well. It was a clear overall winner for me.
"Coast" is a picture I can almost hear, feel and smell. Despite the filter, the colour still looks real enough to me.
I was surprised that "Heart Implant" got very few votes. I like the vibrant colours, and the crisp foreground contrasting with the blurry background.
"Rose" is a picture that maybe should have been in my list - it's very well done and fits the category perfectly. But it's so cliché that it made me cringe so much that I just couldn't make myself vote for it. By the way, is that some sort of wire wrapped around it? Poor thing.
"Red Trash" made me cringe, too, because the different reds clash so horribly, but in this case that fits the subject - trash isn't supposed to be beautiful.
"And then she dropped me in a puddle" is a cute picture, but it didn't evoke the feelings of sadness and melancholy in me that it apparently was meant to evoke, and did evoke in others. Maybe it would have helped if you could see it dripping or if there were some dirt on it. Or maybe not, as it seems to already work for others.
The photographer of "The End" wasn't sure which of the three pictures of the bouquet he should enter. I approve of the choice, and I like the picture despite the technical flaws. My biggest problem with the picture is the vase - I'd like to see either less or more of it. But I don't think it could be cropped easily.
I wonder why the tomato is lonely, with all those leaves around it.
"Blade of Grass" gets my vote for Green. 😉 Nice macro.

Originally posted by NordlysI liked the blade of grass pic too, as well as the wax picture. In fact, had the wax picture been in the running, it would have had a strong vote from me.

And here are the results! First of all, Gatecrasher is awarded the title of Detective of the Round, in addition to Gatecrasher of the Round! As for the winning pictures, almost all prizes go to Niallone (as usual). Congratulations for winning in the categories Blue and Yellow with good margins, and a narrow, but deserved win for the overall winner of the round (it would probably have been less narrow if everybody had voted for an overall winner)! And congratulations to DdV (another one of the usual suspects) for winning in the Red category!

I was very surprised that "Blue Beads" was only one point behind the winner in the combined category. Some pictures got far more points in the Blue category, but didn't do so well in the combined category. Apparently people either liked my picture a lot or not at all, while some other pictures were in the list of most people, but rarely in first place (and thus also rarely in the combined list).

Sorry about that... It would have been difficult to beat him, he got half the pictures right. But you still did much better than Palynka, who couldn't even be bothered to try. 😛
