Hmmm.. by robz

Hmmm..

Sometimes negative images work and sometimes they don't. The characteristics of colour combinations are fascinating. The wattles in the middle have analogous blue and green - but how does brown fit in? Where is brown on the colour wheel - what combination? The same wattles at the top have been made to be monochromatic - it seems to work - to be harmonious. But what happens when the colours are inverted? I don't like that combination very much.
Great shots and thought provoking comments

@sarahlth Thanks Sarah - I have found this week's challenge to be so useful - it must help to learn to utilize these ideas. Makes you think instead of just point and click. LOL Thanks for your comments.

I don't like the colours in the bottom image very much, but somehow, when you put the 3 images together, it works ! Very nice on black as well.

@bintal Hi Sylvia - thanks for your interesting comment - I didn't like the bottom combination much either - but after reading what you said I looked at it as a whole - and it's not too bad.! maybe because there's a progression down the page - each image is getting darker overall and the brown seed cases have swapped with the brown background? And the black background seems to tie them all together. Thank you for taking the time to look at all of that - I found it most useful! Cheers Rob.

@777margo Thank you Margo - it has indeed been interesting to me too - I've never had much call to check out colour harmonies before. Cheers
