Amy’s challenge is to show contrasts in our images.
My header photo shows the contrast of the red Magnolia seeds against the brown of the cone and the green of the leaves.
The next image shows the contrast between the brown desert grass and the colorful balloons in the blue sky.

I like the contrast of the orange beak of the puffin against the blue background of the ocean in this next image.

The following beach scene at sunrise contrasts the orange sky with the dark beach and the silhouettes of people watching the sunrise.

My final image contrasts the silhouette of the hot air balloon as it rises into the air at sunrise.

Many thanks to our host Amy for the challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #271 – Contrasts

Well Beth, we’ve done it again — just this week I captured an image of a magnolia cone lying on the green grass with its red seeds. Happily I didn’t post it LOL! Loved your examples on this one, especially the closing silhouette.

Tina, it’s so funny that you recently captured an image of a magnolia cone, too! I’ve seen plenty of cones on the ground but this was the first cone I’ve seen that was still on the tree with the red seeds. I’m glad you like the silhouette of the balloon at sunrise.

Lovely, Beth. The hot air balloons are in contrast with the sky, land, color, and each other . Very nice.
