So I was surprised the other day when a friend commented about a photo of mine, saying that she liked the contrast between the hard sculptural and the soft natural elements. And then I thought I do see contrasts!
So I went looking at images in my library to see what other contrasts I had captured.
I see this as an ongoing challenge. What adds interest? What is the dynamic of the contrast in the image? This is one of the ideas that I need to really think about...and spend some time letting it evolve. I imagine (down the road) that I will have a lot more to say about contrasts. And ultimately use this idea to create interesting photos.

Yes, you do see contrast, you just weren't thinking about it that way! This concept can take a while to sink in, so just keep looking at the images that you find interesting and notice the contrasts. Before you know it, you'll realize when "contrast" is what you are seeing and photographing.
