Observing Contrast

Hi Folks,

Is it not funny that when you walk or drive around anywhere that there is always something that might catch your eye. A lot of the times this seems to happen to me. I think anything that has a little bit of contrast tends to stand out.
My first example here is something that is not unusual I mean to say it is a grapevine growing with a white wall behind it.

Interesting Contrast

We have a classic case of to opposing colours being the white of the wall and the darker green and mild yellow of the grapevine. So subsequently you tend to notice.

The second example is not as stand outish as the first but it is more texture related. I just happened to see this rusted piece of iron and thought the texture here would be a nice interesting image.

Nice Texture

I mean to say that roughness and the colour really does something which just draws me in all the time.
There is not a whole lot of contrast there but the fact that it looks rough gives it a nice feel.

This next photo was the same piece of metal but I noticed a pastel purplish kind of leaf sitting there.
The contrast was not strong but very subtle. It is enough of a contrast to make you notice.

Patel Purple?

I mean to say if we look around hard enough there is always something interesting and different.

My last example is contrast on steroids meaning the colours were nice but I thought I would make it a bit more arty although the pattern itself looks nice.

Contrast On Steroids

I would say this last photo to be my favourite because of the textured blue background and the two leaves that are soft in colour but stand out against the rough.

These are My Photographic Observations and I hope the examples were an interesting subject matter.
