This week for the Lens Artist Challenge Sofia is asking us to be BOLD. Please and take a look at her post to see what she has posted and her explanation.
I took a quick look and then did a google search for a definition of bold. I decided that I would to the colour, design or shape. I know you can show bold in other ways, but I have no idea if I have any photos like that, especially not with people.
I have to admit colour was the first thing I thought of and then I thought about those beachside cottages in Capitola in California. The different colours. My photo of them isn’t great. It was late in the afternoon, so the were in the shade sadly.
I hate what keeps happening to the area with the massive storms and high tides that have been bringing destruction on the West Coast.
I loved this one from there too.
These always have amazingly bold colours.
The next thing I thought of was flowers. I love making the bold colours of flowers pop out from the background and stand out. I think this is bold, I could be wrong, but I hope you think my colours are bold.
I could have put hundreds of flowers up, but I made myself stick to 5.
Then when it said design or shape I thought about some of the architecture here. What buildings are bold?
I have picked out some of my favourite buildings that have bold shapes and/or colour.
I picked the black and white one because I think even with the building reflected into a window and looking abstract we know what it is. Those of us who live here know which building it is.
I was finished this post and then I thought about food. So here are some baked goods with bold colours.
I could do some many things, I have to stop myself now.

Wow!
Thank you Dawn.
Impossible to pick one, er even some, Leanne – super bold choices! I love the architecture you have down there, Melbourne would be wonderful to visit. The flowers are all awesome in shapes and colours and the food/cookies look sooo tasty (happy they are only in pictures now…)
Thank you Ann-Christine, I think the whole week has been lit up with bold colours. I do love Melbourne, so I would always encourage that. Hahah, yeah, the food pictures, no calories looking at them.
Love your beautiful flowers and the architecture has it’s own type of boldness.
Thank you Nora, good to hear.
That last architectural image before the food series (white lattice tunnels over red curve, glinting railings) has me awe-struck It’s more than bold, it’s a whole dance of form and space!
Thank you Penny. That one you like is the Webb Bridge, it is a popular bridge for photographers.
Coleboldly wonderful.
Hahaha, that’s great Geoff, thank you.
Nicely bold
Thank you Sue.
Spot on, Leanne. I think your flowers are also bold on their design, your architecture examples are wow, especially the last one. And your cakes… yum!
Thank you Sofia. I got lots of inspiration from your post, and thanks for being our hose.
Lovely shots!
Thank you Sharon.

Thank you so much Esther.
You’re welcome.
Loads of wow Leanne
Thank you Brian.
Excellent. You nailed that challenge
Thank you so much Steve.
So bold and colorful, Leanne!
I must say, your last images are so inviting; bold, colorful culinary designs.
Thank you John. I knew it was a good idea to include the food.
Those are excellent choices to illustrate bold in photography, Leanne. I especially liked the architecture series.
Thank you Egidio, I had to include some architecture.
So many great examples of boldness! A wonderful response to the Artist Lens Challenge this week.
That’s great to hear Joanne, thank you.
Leanne, I haven’t had breakfast yet and you ended with those delicious desserts! Now my egg seems so simple and not sweet enough! I did love the rest of your bold images, especially the buildings.
Sorry I spoiled your breakfast Anne, lol. Thank you so much.
LOL I loved your comment about having to stop after a while!! I loved all of your choices Leanne but the food (not surprisingly!) set is my favorite. Well done!!
Hahaha, well it turns out I couldn’t stop, you will see tomorrow. Thank you Tina, the food was a last minute idea, but I had to include it. Glad you liked it.
Your photo always seem Bold to me, Leanne. You’ve taken yourself to a new level here!
Thank you Margaret, I do like colour. That’s really nice of you to say.
these are wonderful bold colors and sad about the storms. my daughter’s in-laws live south of Perth on the west coast in Bunbury.
Thank you Beth, storms are always bad news, they just seem to keep happening these days. I didn’t know that you had family here. Where in the world are you Beth, I have always assumed the US.
I am, indeed. I live in michigan, in the north. my eldest daughter married an Aussie and lived there for years, now they live here, but her in-laws all still live there.
Oh okay, I feel like maybe we have had this discussion before, it sounds familiar. WA is meant to be gorgeous, I have got over there yet.
I think you’d love it
Me too, might have to see about going one day.
Oooh. I’m especially partial to the buildings you chose to illustrate BOLD. They have such a conveyance of feeling. Cheers!
Thank you, I didn’t have to look hard for bold architecture, thankfully.
These are nice. I love the flamingo with the multi-colored flower!
Thank you Jean, that was a lucky find.
