It’s said that geniuses pick green. Blue walls supposedly make people more creative. And red is the color of passion. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating the latter.
So for the next assignment, show us some love and send over a fiery burst of red in nature. Perhaps, you’ll find a scarlet macaw like this one.
As always, our editorial team will choose the best submissions based on appeal, composition, originality, and technical quality. A group of chosen shots for this assignment will be posted on this page and one will even be featured.
Please choose your photos wisely. We can only consider a maximum of two submissions per contributor. Get us your favorite.
