An excuse to bring a splash of colour to mikeosbornphoto. And as they say, blue is the colour, especially the brilliant tones of a swimming pool complete with the myriad of reflections and layers created by the slender bridge crossing this waterhole in Mauritius.

This is not a shot that can be converted to monochrome – the loss of blue would rip the joy and relaxation from gazing at the water. It’s brighter than the blue of the River Thames, peppered with bright blue sails, while the blue of the Pacific Ocean at Byron Bay in Australia is more natural and invigorating.

Does blue do it for you?…
