i take it as the main subject of the photo should be orange in color, back ground or other objects can be what ever....so if your main subject is a cat...make sure that cat is orange, and not black with some orange on it

Or a black cat on an orange background, why limit your shot?
My mom has the book "Why Cats Paint". They look very similar. I wonder if they are made by the same company. I think I will have to get the "Why Paint Cats" as a gift for her.

Yes. Click on picture for link. Quite a few interesting titles.
Just wondering how literally people will take the words "interesting shot where orange is the primary color." Does this mean the subject, regardless of size, should have the primary colour of orange? Or does this mean the photograph itself, including negative space (the background) and the subject should be orange i.e. that orange takes up the majority of the shot. The only reason I ask is what if your subject doesn't take up the majority of the pixels on the image (if the majority of the screen is negative space that contrasts nicely with your "primarily orange" subject)? I don't want to give away what I'm planning to do, so I won't be more specific. I'm just curious if "primary colour orange" means subject or if it means the entire 640 x 480 pixel image. What's your take on this?
Thanks!
The subject of your image should be predominately orange but not necessarily solid orange. Enough so that the item of interest could be described as an orange _______. The background can be whatever colour(s), being careful not to overpower your subject. Making your subject stand out is the key. Or maybe your image could have an overall orange theme, achieved through lighting for example. Just my personal opinion.

If the eye is led to the orange color in the photo, or if the main focus is on the orange color, then I think the challenge has been met. But of course, people can be as creative as they want with any challenge.
I don't have a preconceived idea on how a photograph should look or how orange is used. I enjoy seeing challenges met in creative ways. Of course orange needs to be evident but no necessarily dominate the image. I don't generally vote images down based on challenge requirements unless they are way off topic.

But you will get the narrow minded few that will decimate entries that have even a hint of another colour in their shots (aside from black or white). I think they will be in the minority though.
