Right, I might seem a bit tricksy this month with the theme, but I think we've all been taking part in the competitions long enough to be able to handle it. And these things are about a challenge and testing our photography skills!

So, this month's theme is:


Juxtaposition
There's a couple of different definitions for the word, but I'm gonna go with the one that I first learnt it as (and will make for interesting photography, hopefully), that being:

synonymous with contrast, two (or more) objects that oppose one another

So, some ideas I've been thinking of - a tree in the middle of an urban area, a brightly painted door on a black and white house, something old next to something new, a very tall building surrounded by small ones...hopefully you're getting the idea!

Anyway, the usual rules apply:

- Only two photos per person
- Please don't use photos that you're already posted around the site
- Voting usually starts around the 27th
- Anyone can vote, even those that didn't enter a photo.

Heh.

Go on people, stretch out the old brainboxes!

Myself included, I've thought of this one and haven't a clue what to do with it...

But I have to say I do love juxtaposition. Particularly effective in films when you go from a giddy high to a sad, sad low.
 
This is a very interesting theme this month, Hoopy. I'll have to put my thinking cap on and see what I can come up with.:)
 
I've come up blank on this one. Btw a late congrats to you Hoopy. I had to vote for you!!!!!; your pic was great and plus my knowledge of photography does not extend that far.:rolleyes:
 
See, when you say juxtaposition, I think of a certain poet who I was forced to study this year and how much unnecessary use of juxtaposition she had.

Anyways... this could be interesting.
 
Well here's one I took a while ago at Redcar beach which is infamous for its steel works nearby. Here you can see a young girl playing innocently in the sand,unaware of the hulking steel works behind her. For me it made an interesting juxtaposition, and I gave it the title Innocence.

AE, your shot reminded me of one I had. I would participate with it, but it would be redundant to have two similar shots in the same thread, so I'm posting this one:
