Four annotated pictures;
This photograph shows and obvious contrast between young and old. I like this photograph as it's simple as it only shows their hands and you can see that although they are different that still have a good relationship with one another.
This is another photograph that shows an obvious contrast but this image shows the difference between dark and light. I like this image as the area around the candle is lighter which makes a softer transition between the two contrasts but the difference between them is still noticeable.
This photograph shows a contrast better body shapes as well as gender. The image on the right shows a skinny, female ballet dancer and the picture of the right shows an over weight man wearing simple jeans and a t-shirt. I like this image as it shows two different types of contrasts in one photograph.
In the photograph we can see the contrast between a variety of colour pencils. I like this image as it shows a very simple contrast that we see everyday, rather than the standard black and white contrast.
