@GADC_Committee although you said you wouldn’t release round 1 results until after round 3, it might be helpful to some members to see the round 1 results earlier, to reinforce what is required?

What will help me for the next round is if you don’t beat me to the only ‘fundamentally’ valid idea I’ve had in a fortnight

I thought I would try a different take on ‘fundamentally Red’. In my second image if you asked someone to look at it quickly and then ask them which colour stands out of the image, I believe they would say Red.
Maybe filling the image with red is a bit too obvious? 
(like I did with my first effort!)
I’m speaking on behalf of our other committee members when I say, I think (fundamentally?) most people got the general gist.
The two examples provided in the first post were intended to demonstrate what we were looking for.
If I make the example pictures smaller, it might help clarify further.
This picture is fundamentally yellow:
And this is fundamentally purple:
I’ll now use some examples from members here too.
Sorry, not singling anyone out in this general reply, just using your photos because they’re here.
This is fundamentally red:
This is either fundamentally blue, or fundamentally greeny-brown. What it’s not, is fundamentally red:
Hopefully these examples help?
The other thing that was in the rules, and we didn’t think this even needed mentioning, your photo must be taken using a drone 
It must also be taken between the date ranges listed.
We clearly listed the judging criteria too, so people would know exactly what we were looking for in an entry:
Again, there aren’t many rules (only 15 I think). Please read them guys 
If anyone is unsure of any aspect of any of the rules please just ask (either publicly or privately), we’ll happily explain in more detail if needed 
Anyone watch Taskmaster? As Little Alex Horne would say, “all the information is in the task”

Will a very close photo of a royal mail van count as fundamentally?

If it’s from your drone, within the rules and the dates then that would be a yes

Probably should mention was taken using full manual settings. Also my Mrs thinks she deserves a mention for sitting in the car with her foot on the brake pedal

My entry. I’d passed this Biffa depot a few times hoping to find three lorries parked in front, but best I got was one.

My initial thoughts are green should be a lot easier than red, but then again…

I had the same thought. I mean, at least come the end of the fortnight if I don’t get struck by inspiration there’s a field out the back that’s going to be a darned sight more fundamentally green than my entry for this one was fundamentally red. But a field isn’t going to cut it really.
Man, red was tough though. I ended up driving aimlessly around Ayrshire for two hours this evening looking for something better. All I got was a picture of a red tractor that’s not worth entering. Pleased me though. I’m a teuchter and in primary school we followed tractor manufacturers the way other kids follow football. I was always Massey Ferguson.
Anyway, good luck with green everybody.
