Juxtaposition

An excellent image with strongly contrasting light and shadow.. The old engineering vise composed against a sandwich which appears to have been wrapped in a paper that has seen better days. Equally, I liked that you included the end of the textured, rusting bench this gives a nice depth to the image.

This image stood out for me, it is easy to get lost in. One in white, one in black, both on a bench seat sitting at maximum separation distance. Two polar opposites. The one in white has a defensive but curious look, the one in black a do not disturb look. Well framed with a old brick background. A nice street shot.

This has to capture the viewers attention. The seemingly indifferent pose of the gentleman while sharing a bench seat with an equally disinterested Pelican makes this winning image. It is so unusual that I did wonder if the Pelican had been added, but can see no tells that this was the case. An outstanding and unusual capture, well done.

A classic capture. The strongly exaggerated stretching Queens portrait bust against a young man of normal proportions. A powerful and striking juxtaposition, both with curls, that is suited to Black and white. I salute the fact that you have gone out with a classic but very capable vintage lens.

Unless they have extremely well dressed window cleaners in this part of the world I assume the two cleaners are owners or employees of this business. The smart but casually dressed passerby seems amused by their efforts. A nicely captured juxtaposition. I particularly like that you have framed the image well to show the business details.

A classic example of juxtaposition with the male and female silhouettes. The white negative space between them forms as much interest the figures themselves. Well composed and planned.

A beautifully captured street image. A fleeting millisecond to capture the riders silhouetted while juxtaposed against the traditionally dressed woman. Such images take a keen eye to capture and an artistic mind to appreciate. Congratulations on a clever and outstanding image.

Nice studio capture. Cold paint, but the couple seem to be enjoying the experience. Nicely framed and composed for maximum impact. This must have been very challenging to set up. Trying to control the paint runs without overdoing it and making a mess. You would not like to clean up an start again. The lighting is spot on.

A very strong colour pop image that is both interesting and surreal. The yellow gloves of domesticity contrasting with the neat and smart attire of the subject.. This image will make you explore the meanings behind these contrasting items and goes beyond the props. Equally perplexing is the title "On Sunday going to mass" As with any exceptional surreal image it is up to the viewer to draw their own conclusions beyond the visual.
