That's a real good contrast.
Dave and Richard, thank you!

Sorry...tried to get the download to show, but no dice!

I'm always attracted to the softness of the silk coming from the hard textured pods of milkweeds. Beautiful, Dave.

Your contrasts are wonderful Linda. I like everything about this image. I am still trying to figure out what I will shoot for this chapter.

Thank you, Andrea!
I started a list of ideas, based on what I could find from some online articles. Would love to have people add more suggestions!
1. Above vs. Below
2. Active vs. Lazy
3. Child vs. Adult
4. Ancient vs. Modern
5. Amateur vs. Professional
6. Animal vs. Human (especially if each is somehow impersonating the other!)
7. Apart vs. Together
8. Asleep vs. Awake
9. Beauty vs. Ugliness
10. Big vs. Small
11. Calm vs. Excited
12. Clean vs. Dirty
13. nature and city
14. mythic and real
The first day I went out looking for contrasts, I knew I'd find some "obvious" ones in orchards and farmland: spring awakening vs. winter dormancy, and fertile vs. fallow:

Linda and Dave - wonderful shots to illustrate contrast. Linda has thrown in lots of ideas here.
Here is my take - light and shadow

Hi, Sundar,
Light and Shadow are well contrasted here, and yet, as a lover of the out-of-doors and as a photographer I perceive just as strongly the "coolth" in those shadows, contrasted with the warmth felt sitting on a rock in the sun on the bright side of the stream...and the water's slow flow in the "inside" of the curve contrasted with its more rapid flow at the outside of the curve...against the "cut-bank" , and the excellent perspective in your image calls to mind the contrast between the near foreground and the far disappearance of the stream around that distant curve.
A lovely image, Sundar, with a number of contrasts...we are still in brown/tan early spring here in East River, SD, an I'm impatient for such stronger seasonal changes as you've shown us!
Thanks for posting!
Best regards,
Dave

Linda,
I do like the complexity of contrasts perceived among the beautiful rainbow and the (possibly) two competing forms of energy suggested by the wind farm rotors and the power lines likely carrying energy with a very different "footprint" than that from the wind.
And I'm delighted that the rough, harsh texture of the dried, opened milkweed pod was perceptible...the milkweed "fluff" and it's rough, uncomfortable pod are one of my very earliest textural contrast memories from very early childhood...likely late infancy...I know I had to held up to be able to feel the plant and its parts.....

Back over to the local garden centre yesterday.
