LOCKED Colour Mania

About LOCKED Colour Mania

I have locked the group due to my inability to maintain it. Sorry.

HELLO! ... and welcome to the Colour Mania group!



This group was created with color in mind.-.

bold, bright, crazy, dreamy, energetic, happy, hip, intense, loud, manic, silly, strong, vibrant,
and/or psychedelic colors. The BRIGHTER THE BETTER.

We are open to ALL types of photography and art. You will find mediums like, fractals, oils, portraits, textiles, abstracts, watercolors, photo-shops, graphics, macros, flowers, architecture, still life, animals, lights, autos, marbles, glass, grafitti, costumes, and reality. Did I miss anything?



You will NOT, repeat NOT, find black & white, brown, tan, gray, dullness, violence, or pornography.
One more thing, the administrators are not big landscape lovers, so if you are set on posting
sunsets, sunrises, fields, & faunas, please make sure they are over-the-top wonderful. If they
are not super colourful, those landscapes will disappear as soon as they are posted.

Please be SELECTIVE when INVITING and POSTING NEW IMAGES

Any image not meeting the "bright" color criteria will simply be removed. This doesn't mean the
images are bad - they just do not have enough color. Try again and, maybe, try tweaking the
colour saturation to higher and more intense levels!

SIMPLE RULES, right?



ADMIT IT, we all like COMMENTS & AWARDS!!!

For every image you post, it would be nice if you commented on other images in the group pool.
There will NEVER be any silly "sweeper programs" to monitor member activity. This, also,
encourages group participation which is crucial in contests. Plus, it is only fair!




~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~ BRING YOUR SUNGLASSES TO AVOID RETINA BURN! ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~
We have all seen the so-called colour/color groups that include dull lifeless images in their pool.
Here at Colour Mania, we want every image in the group to give your eyes a real work out!!!
So GO, have FUN, and ENJOY your membership!
