Welcome to the second Colours journal feature! 
Please consider adding the feature to your 
to support the artists featured and the time I spent compiling it.During August, the first #FeedbackFrenzy came to a close - over 160 participants and 40 teams wrote almost 2,000 critiques. I was blown away by the effort everyone put in, and the size the contest came to!! I am so honoured to have been involved of the organisation and coordination of such an event
Here is a feature for the winners, as promised. They aren't all photographers, but I thought it would be fitting to include the winners in here
First Place (Grand Prize Winners):
Second Place:
You can read about all the runners up and individual awards over at the official announcement blog!
Congratulations to all involved!
Interview with =JPtHart
=JPtHart has a gallery full of inspiring nature photos. His images look at nature in a new way; through use of colour, light, composition, and movement, Jan-Pieter creates truly unique photographs. The emotions portrayed in his artwork ranges from bright and cheerful to dark and sombre.

- Why or how did you get started with photography?
Photography has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I think I was 9 when I bought my first compact camera, which I saved for. When I was fourteen, I became more serious about it, and it slowly became my passion. Capturing things and trying to make an interesting photo out of any ordinary subject really spoke to me, and it still does. - Your photos are very interesting. What inspires you when you create them?
You will never find me waiting for inspiration to come in my room, I'm never in a lack of ideas. Even if I don't have a specific idea, I just grab my camera and bicycle and explore forests, meadows and heathlands. Luckily, I live in a very nice area, and there are still parts of nature for me to discover. So, my main inspiration is nature itself, but music and other artists play a role as well. - Which of your own photos are you the most proud of, and why?
It's hard for me to pick an all time favourite. I can't look at my own photos objectively, there are always things that bother me, even if no one else sees it. But if I have to choose one, I'd go for World through different eyes. This is the first time I experimented with camera movement, something I've done several times afterwards. It's also my first Daily Deviation, so there are a lot of milestones in this photo!
Thanks very much for the interview, Jan-Pieter!

Thanks for this wonderful journal feature!
My pleasure, thanks for looking!
You're on top of the journal portal!
Thank you for featuring my image in such a nice article. I really enjoyed the other ones you picked, too, and how they went with the layout and everything
Oh, and I voted for the username change, it will be hard to get used to it, but I.love.this.one that you picked sooo much, it's really special
My pleasure!
I think it might be hard for people to get used to too, because it's so different from my last one. But I hope that with time it will fit me.
