@ossobuco,
from the Guardian's Best Travel Photos, this present series with an emphasis on color:
Liam Arthur: This was shot at the Blue Lagoon, Iceland. It was -1C outside and the water was 39C. I love the steam on the gentleman's glasses and the wonderful colour of the water.

These next ones are from a series in March -
Noah Spencer: My fiancée and I were on holiday in a village near Fussen, Germany, on a lake called Weissensee. We went for a morning walk and the fog was amazing. The rising sun began to burn off the fog, causing it to slowly creep up the forested shoreline. Only then did we notice the small fishing boat that had been there in the dense fog all along … making for an amazing shot

Nick Board: Taking on the "Narrows", a hike along the Virgin river in Zion national park, Utah. It's terrific in September, but some intrepid souls attempt it at other times, when the river, forcing its way through the canyon, can become a raging torrent.

Rory O'Callaghan, runner-up: I took this at Lago Colorado in Bolivia. I knew what kind of picture I was looking for at the lake. I got lucky and got this. It was one of the first shots of the evening.
Natalie Mayer, judge: Drama and simplicity. This is gorgeous. The composition is perfect … the birds have a place to go. The trailing shadows add an extra dimension. And the redness of the water is exciting, beautiful and dramatic. Just lovely.
