This is a lot of fun, but I am having a really hard time telling blue from green and pink from purple. :(

Pink Socks:
Yeah, I'm 100% confident that I've matched the photos to their control circles. I'm 100% confident that I found the eggs in all of the photos. But only 85% confident in the colors. In addition to two pink/purple ones, there was one yellow/orange one I had trouble with!

It was still fun, though!

Ditto to Pink Socks!
I wasn't going to do this, but I clicked on the links ... and before I knew it I was sucked in. It was fun.

Ditto to Pink Socks and Peggy! The colors in a few pics were iffy.

As far as I'm concerned, colors are always iffy.

Comment - see Pink Socks above! Same problems with the colors...

Me too! Very confident on the locations. Orange/Yellow and Purple/Pink was quite tough. But yes, a very fun Easter challenge. Thanks, Smittyo!

Ditto PinkSocks and bubo -- If the eggs were closer to the photographer it would have been slightly easier on a couple...the ones in the distance were hard to find!

I thought the eggs were photoshopped in. I had fun though, no problems with differentiating colours (I hope, results will tell) and I thought finding the egg was part of the challenge. Thanks all!

I clearly couldn't easily tell pink from purple ... missed two that way, but I'm going to call it a perfect score because of the colors being hard to differentiate ;-)
Thanks LAOC/Clare! This was fun.

Missed one but that´s OK.
The challenge in finding the correct control sites AND the eggs was fun, so all in all a nice little distraction from every day life.

Thanks Clare!

The ability to see the color -- and in some cases the egg itself -- was often dependent on being able to enlarge the photo without grainy-ness. On my phone, this was hit or miss, and differed with how the pics were viewed on Flickr.

Yes, thanks so much for the effort, Clare! Great fun!!

I used my PC and still had trouble enlarging some photos sufficiently. One in particular I hesitated over because the egg looked the same as leaves in the grass, but just slightly larger. But I seem to have done well in the game anyway. ;-)

That was a fun distraction from this new normal....
