Weekly challenge - 1/27- 2/2: Contrast is the real spice of life

[SquarePeg]

For this weeks challenge, focus on contrast. Contrast can be in the subject or the processing...high contrast, low contrast...your choice. Try to vary how you showcase it throughout the week. Look for contrast, create contrast, think about contrast while you’re shooting and again while you’re processing.

Some ideas to think about:
colors
textures
light and shadow
old and new
contrast in nature
black and white
portraits

Took Yesterday with contrast in mind, decided for about 1/4 of my normal agitation regime and I may stick with this. I just love Acros 100.
Shot at ISO 400, HC110 (B), 10 min, Rapid Fixer, Epson V800. Fujifilm GA645ZI.

Just excellent.

The straight trees in background provide a contrast to as well as a complement for the crooked trees

While I wasn’t specifically thinking about contrast when I took this, I was when I processed it. The big bump in contrast really adds drama to this one I think.

Here I've tried to present several levels of contrast. Apart from the classic black - white type of contrast there's also horizontal - vertical and order - disorder tension in play.

Marshmallow agreed to help me with this challenge.
She contrasts, not only with the background throw, but with herself.

Wasn't taken for this challenge, as I have very little extra time lately, but I shot this a few days ago of a friend who is visiting from Brazil.

Playing with the light and shadow and the floor grid. I was hoping the dead plant would be good for something.

There was a path toward the light, and a path toward the dark. I chose the path toward darkness.
