Glowing

Get Pushed Challenge #591
My partner challenged me to juxtaposition in photography involving placing contrasting elements side by side within a composition. I wasn't familiar with this name for this style of photography but when I researched it I did recognize it. I looked around and couldn't find anything, so I decided to set up a scene myself.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Well done Kathy! But of course you always rise to the occasion!

[Kathy]

@dkbarnett I hope this works for what you had in mind. Thanks for the challenge. It was certainly thought provoking.

[Susan Wakely]

Fabulous idea . I really like the odd one out.

[Chris Cook]

Well done

[Corinne C]

Very creative

[Issi Bannerman]

Very effective and so nice on black.

[Mary Siegle]

I also, while familiar with the word, was not familiar with its use in photography. Great example! I love the light coming through that red.

@olivetreeann Thank you Ann. I appreciate your support.
@wakelys Thanks Sue. From the photos I looked at to get an idea what the challenge really was, this seemed to be what others did.
@cdcook48 Thanks Chris.
@corinnec Thanks Corinne. I admit, I had to clone out a bit of the light that backlit the vase. Just couldn't get the angle right and wasn't going back to do it again.
@johnfalconer Thanks muchly John.
@rensala I appreciate your comment Renee.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks so much Jackie. A good crop will give symmetry. A bit of a defiance to rules of composition, I'm afraid I often like the subject in the center of things, 'cause, well, it's the subject.
@grammyn Thanks so much Katy. The light is the result of a nice flexible goose-neck light that I bought at Ikea a number of years ago.
@onewing Thank you Babs for your thumbs up.
@kjarn Thank you Kathy. I like how it made the red marbles glow.
@shutterbug49 Thank you so much Debbie. I had forgotten I had those red marbles. Glad I dug them up.
@kwind Thanks so much.
@pusspup Thank you.
@jamibann Thanks very much
@mcsiegle Thank you Mary. Yes, once I saw it, I couldn't not use it.

[PhotoCrazy]

Nice pic!

[Delwyn Barnett]

Thanks Kathy, that is a really lovely image - a fave. I guess another name for the challenge would have been just to do opposites, but I liked the word 'juxtaposition'. I love the way the red marbles almost glow and yet the sole white marble is so evident in the photo. Fabulous.

[Kathy]

@photographycrazy Thank you Bill.
@dkbarnett Thanks Delwyn. I was able to find examples for juxtaposition on Google so it made it fun to determine a subject.
