Hope a right handed and a lefthanded guitarist can be considered as contrasting

The contrast in terms of light and colour is superb. Would make a great post card

[Frik]

Cheers Emma!

Is that a red painted dead tree you can see from the side of the road, on the way to Aberystworth?

[Frik]

No, it's a red painted dead tree in the middle of a field between the A217 and the M25 near Banstead in Surrey

And no, I don't know why it's painted red

[FunkyNige]

Contrast of old and new architecture

[spitfire-ian]

Not sure if this counts?

Indeed!

[xiphias]

Aha! I used to live there when I was a kid

[lightningghost]

I've got two. The first one is meant to be contrasting architecture, old and new. The second is similar, but is contrasting simple and complicated, or in a way, present and future.







This was a lucky shot. The shutter closed just at the right time.

Isn't it strange the way the light is shining as if the flash was reflected off a glossy plastic presentation board

Is that the tree at Junction 8 of the M25?

Ah - it is that one. I've often wondered why it's painted red...

Probably an Arts Council Grant for 250k for a picture of a Red Wood.

I expect it is now owned by the Saatchi chap.

There's one painted white on the A120 between Colchester and Harwich... again for reasons unknown.

I took this picture of one of our cats this weekend, and only afterwards thought that I could enter it in this competition - I really like the contrast between the darkness of her fur and the brightness of the sunlight. It wasn't that striking for real - really surprised me when I saw it on the screen.
