I put up the theme of Studies in Contrast...it was suggested by Pistos last time and I thought it a good idea...here are some of his ideas for this theme: "There are different types of contrasts: 1) contrast in tones (monochromatic images), 2) contrast in colors (opposites on the color wheel), 3) contrasts in intensity (bright versus subdued), 4) contrasts in size (large versus small), or 5) contrast in meaning (e.g old versus new, natural versus artificial). Submit an image that illustrates one or more of these contrast types."

***Monochrome describes paintings, drawings, design, or photographs in one color or values of one color. A monochromatic object or image reflects colors in shades of limited colors or hues.***

This topic would be fair & open for all genre of art. Our artists, illustrators fractalists, abstractors and photographers etc.

Lets do it :)

I have suggested winter scene as it is the season now and also most photographers have some winter scene stored away. I also do not agree with the condition that the photos should have been taken during now and closing time to qualify for entries.

I also like the '*Monochrome' idea, Mimi... if it doesn't win the vote this time I hope it comes up next time as I don't think we've tried that idea before...it would be interesting and something new.
