"Well, yellow, yellow," said Prompto, unable to help himself, because he was, after all, just a mere mortal and, even worse, a dad now, which just gae him licence to make terrible jokes like that with absolutely no shame or abandon, "I hope you've all had a good weekend and are ready to show off some of your shots for the yellow assignment, and then, surprise surprise, we'll be jumping into our next color: green!

"Who's up first this week?" he asked, with a grin around the room. "Let's see what you've got!"

Why, yes, Prompto was tempted to put Coldplay on repeat during everyone's presentations of their yellow photographs from the last week, but he didn't want to distract from the ~art~, as hilarious as that would have been.

Arden had several different pictures, but the one she liked best was the picture of a cluster of dandelions she'd found out in the preserve.

No reason.

Though the one of herself in a gold shirt was pretty good, too.

Steve's photos this week were filled with the gold of Tony's Iron Man suit, the yellow of dandelions as his corgi raced through them, and the view of a sunrise from the top of the Stark mini-tower.

"And now, of course," said Prompto, once everyone had a chance to show off their work and get subsequently complimented over it, "we're moving on to talking about green, which is, of course, a color rich in symbolism, that usually brings to life verdant nature, health as well as disease, and all sorts of other things."

So, naturally, he went to break down some of those things, especially as he went through the weekly cadre of great examples. No one was probably likely to get a shot like Carlos Alonso's Green Road, but he'd love to be proven wrong on that! Either way, it was too good of a shot not to show off, but something more like Asaf Ud Daula's Some people feel the rain, others just get wet was a good example of something more their level. Jan Mayer's Bali's Green is a good example of a stunning use of natural lighting, and he liked Morning Lake Dip from Matt Cannon for a good example of a landscape with a touch of the human element included.

And, of course, just a few great examples where the focus is clearly the green of is all: Jovanne Amolat's Dangerously beautiful green viper may give Prompto the willies personally, but it's hard to deny that it's a great shot, same with Anskar Lenzen's Green Frog. Or pops of green accents, like with Tom Franklin de Waart's Happy Kid or Bright Andoh's Luminous Souls. Or green as a background feature, like with Mitesh Patel's Owlet.

And Mikhail Derevyanov's From above was just included because Prompto really, really liked it.

Also, maybe an old selfie thrown in for good measure, too.

Thoughts, questions, and other topics of discussion around your potential green portfolio are, as always, very welcome!

He was a little disappointed the fishing trip photos he wanted to include in the lecture today didn't turn out the way he'd wanted them to, but oh well! There was no lack of examples, really, so he would hardly complain.
