Photo of the Day (12-17-08)
It's not usual that a person's handiwork makes Photo of the Day two times in one week. This week Lola Akinmade's shot of this woman in Peru caught my attention. How could it not? Isn't that vivid red gorgeous?
I also love the way the purple of the woman's shawl pops against it and how the other reds are just enough of a difference to be distinct. This is a perfect example of the principles of a color wheel.
If you have your own examples of popping colors, send them our way at Gadling's Flickr Photo Pool. One or two could be chosen as a Photo of the Day. Just ask Lola.

Not to cause any trouble, but I wonder if that is really that flickr member's photo or if their has been taken and manipulated. Check out http://thetravelersnotebook.com/photography-q-a/the-a-b-c-d-e-of-travel-photography/ where it also is with slightly duller color.
I wonder who the original photographer is?
Great photo no matter what, though.

After further review, it does look like that Flickr member's photo, only the other site didn't give credit, sorry Jamie and Gadling!

Hi Jeff,
Very observant. I checked out the link. Lola wrote the article, so I am assuming she took the photograph as well. Thanks for being such a careful reader.

Oops! very observant of you, also! I totally missed the author of the link I shared. So it's likely is her photo! : ) Sorry to jump the gun!!
