Weekly Photo Contest Challenge: Fresh! (March 23 - March 30)

[Janichsan]

The topic is simple: fresh.

Fresh new green. Fresh fruit. Fresh clothes. Fresh air. Fresh food. Fresh ideas.

Interpret this any way you like.

As always, standard rules apply:

• The photographs must be your own work
• You may only submit one photo per contest.
• No commenting or liking photos until after the judging has taken place.
• This contest runs for about a week, starting now.
• At the end of the competition, the judge (last week's winner) will choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.
• The 1st place winner will start a new thread here with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).
• Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.
• Contest ends on March 30 at midnight CEST (give or take).

Looking at this picture I still remember the fresh breeze flowing from the Aegean Sea. That feeling is just so amazing!

Pretty much the only thing fresh in my neck of the woods is the snow.

When the dutch want some real fresh air, they head to the Wadden islands. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wadden_Sea)

@akash.nu Fresh breeze and if it were a sunrise, a fresh new day. Amazing colours and the tiny, tiny ship shows the scale of the view.

@OldMacs4Me Fresh new snow. Nice contrast with the sunny blue sky in the background. Despite the sun, there's still a lot of detail visible in the snow.

@StrollerEd Fresh flowers. The flower in the middle is nicely focused, showing all the detail of its stamens.

@oblomow Amazing sky with a low sun working out the detail in the clouds. Looks windy and not too warm.

@_timo_redux_ More fresh snow. The dynamic pose of the child captures nicely the fun of playing in the snow. I like how the reflection from a window or something behind the camera provides some extra light on the child.

Not an easy choice, as the pictures are all very close in quality.

3rd place: @StrollerEd

2nd place: @akash.nu

1st place: @oblomow
