Contrast

The soft round shape of the moon in contrast to the breaking waves is surreal. How do take a picture like this? The dark shadows of the waves in emphasized by the highlights radiated from the moon. The contrast of of the motion of the wave about to crash into the still water a few feet in front cradled by the light of the moon creates real drama. I don't think this photo would be as successful in color.



The contrast of the burning match with the smooth and soft smoke highlights the difference of it's color. The warm vibrant flame is exemplified by the change of motion of the smoke in the image. Interesting how bright life is, and the dark of death. (I learned in science fire is considered a living organism.)



The relationship of the biker and the walk bridge (?) gives the view a real sense of space. He is flying up there. I can only wonder how many times he fell before he could sore with such grace. (The concrete below is awfully hard.)



The purple and blue hues reflected in this child's eyes and tears evokes profound emotion. The contrast of his dark complexion and dark eyes highlighted by his tears really makes me feel his pain.



This image is fabulous example of the power of lines. The sparks vector over the entire circumference of the image. It draws the eye in then around. The shape of the grinder blade parallels the shape of the greater image. The man in the image is crisp, and his dark skin and dark clothes contrast nicely with the bright yellow of the sparks.



The texture in this image emphasizes the emotion portrayed my the model. It's like her entire being is crying. The contrast in of the black back ground and her fare skin highlights the detail in the water sliding down the glass.
