What a lovely image Soham. Look at those colors and the impressions of life within. Yes, our expectations from you too are soaring up sky high now :-). Wonderful creation.

Love the bright colors mix here Soham. You may want to experiment with effect of brightness/saturation on the mood it portray. I think 'optimism' , 'restlessness', 'jealous' etc are all portrayed by yellow *however* they are portrayed by different shades of yellow. Brighter makes it a positive color while darker/paler takes it in other direction. Try experimenting and share your knowledge with us !! We all can learn together here ! Thanks for sharing.

What does yellow mean in this case ?

It speaks of Autumn to me, may be because of the movement present there, which is surpassing the effect of the color. An emotion of despair and loss that was not deserved. There is certain amount of pain present in this picture. The yellow itself has a body, self weight, somewhat sombre.

Wonderfully explained Soham...speaks and justifies so much the way you express through the lens. Poetry it is. Lovely discussion between you and Ganshi...understanding colors can not ever happen by understanding rules. There can never be a compulsion to translate yellow or green or blue in a direction. While there may be overlaps of emotions while trying to understanding colors, the bulk of the understanding also depends on what situation are we in and how we use it. Loved both the images so much as the colors are not imposed. The narration of the colors are so visible in the objects in the frame. The leaves, one in shade and the other so bold narrates a relation. I would say yellow and green both have a body here, what is most interesting to me is how wonderfully the leaf in shade is complimented by the supporting yellow. Just trying to think what if the color position was swapped ? Would the same emotion flow with the shaded leaf in green and the bold leaf in yellow ??
Not at all easy to make images like these. Wonderful again Soham and I must say, I love your expressions both in words and images. Waiting to see more.....

Thank you Nilanjanda for the appreciation. Yes , I totally agree with you on your views on understanding the colors. Colors can be defined by its effect on human emotion and feelings.

understanding colors can not ever happen by understanding rules.


I think actually colors were never assigned to different emotions. Observations and 'meanings' are influenced by what we see in life - night is cold/blue, hot is red, danger is 'blood' red etc. How different colors mix and create various other emotions is a complex topic which needs life time worth of study I guess. Some of those observations may not be very obvious to us photographers. However when we see those colors it may become obvious. That knowledge is very essential for us to proces our images. We simple can't handle colors as easily as we do with different shades of white or dark tones as we do in B&W processing. But I think painters understand them far better than we do. They need to create different moods starting from a blank white canvas.
