This week's Giveaway Tuesday Photo Challenge calls for your most vibrant color photo. We've shared some incredible inspiration with you already, and now we've rounded up some photos that reflect the prize.

This week, we'll be selecting 5 winners, and each will be awarded with 5 copies of MacPhun's Color Splash Studio app for iOS to share with friends. Color Splash Studio is a photo editing app for playing with selective color, offering a variety of features to utilize color as an accent, as demonstrated in the images below.
