“As one of the oldest pigments used by humans, the spectrum of attributes associated with yellow are wide ranging. Yellow is associated with the sun, warmth, energy, and radiance. As a result, yellow has inherited connotations of power, knowledge, imperishability, and status. Frida Kahlo called yellow the color of the sun and joy, but also “of madness, sickness, and fear”. It is the color of warning. Your image must include the color yellow. Yellow does not need to be the dominant color in the image, but it must impact the finished photograph, either aesthetically, or symbolically, or both.”.
The Judge this month was Kim Signoret-Paar
