Today I’m participating in the A Word A Week Challenge. This week’s theme is “contrast”. I encourage you to click on each photo to see a larger view. If you like what you see, please subscribe to this blog to receive updates of the new photos I post, usually 3 to 5 times a week.
There are many ways to feature contrast in photographs, so here are a few of my personal interpretations for this photo theme. There can be contrast between light and dark, as in this backlight setting on Coronado beach in front of the Pacific ocean.
Or it could be contrast between light and dark at night, between the bright full moon in the background and the dark trees in the foreground.
It could be the exact opposite with the trees in the foreground in bright light, and the clouds in the background in the dark.
It could be both a contrast in size, small versus large, and in color, white and versus pink, as in this photo of a small white poppy right next to a large pink poppy.
Finally, it could a contrast between what you see at first glance, and what you really see if you look more closely, as in this map of the USA in the water puddle with the colors of the American flag, still one of my favorite shots so far.

Great choices. Love that beach shot. Probably because I want to be there. 🙂
The beach in the winter can be very breezy and chilling in the winter, but that was a beautiful day. We’re getting ready for a 2-week trip to the mid-Atlantic and I really hope the weather warms up a bit before we get there this weekend…
Ooh, sounds like fun!
We can’t wait! Well, except for the suitcase packing part.
Love the contrast on the beach!
Thank you. I got several shots that day, with my good camera and my cell phone camera. All different, but it was hard to choose my favorite.
They are beautiful contrasts! Poppies are beautiful. I also like the moon shot.
Thank you very much, Amy!
Those are great. I love those bright trees with the dark clouds swirling in the background. Now I’m in the mood for a thunderstorm. 🙂
Oh, a thunderstorm, we very rarely get those in San Diego. I wish we could get one during our trip, as long as we can stay indoors and it’s not too cold.
