Week 3 Thing 6

Flickr Color Pickr was an interesting tool. Very beautiful, vibrantly colored photographs can easily be found. The simplicity of the tools usage was a great benifit since it would allow a person to find something that interests them in the person's current mood, or to find something that displays a favorite color in the most amazing, profound way.

As a personal preference, I love aquamarine colors ( sea blue, torquoise, light green, sky blue) and found the following image created through photoshop that resembles a dragon fly's wing in stained glass.

There is also this photo of a ships anchor in the crystine blue waters.

Both pictures are extremely limited in what they show, yet, there is so much to be seen within each one. How the hues of the color change, the ripples of the waves against the boat and the anchor line, the little sea spray caressing the crest of the waves.

These fine details are brought out by the solid color theme that the Flickr Color Pickr found. Mashed tools have a very useful purpose when it comes to expanding features of an already good product to make it a great product.
