In this image we can see that there is a lone red flower left in a field of green wheat. Also on a colour wheel red and green are polar opposites which means they have a large contrast.

In this there are two types of contrast the first being there is a contrast between the green and brown and there is also a contrast between the lightness of the green MM and the dark coloured brown coffee beans.

In this image we can see that the photographer has taken a photo of a sand dune and there is a large contrast between the rough dark side of the dune and the smoother light side of the dune. It is the angle of the light that makes such a large difference.

In this image the photographer has taken a photo of a single yellow flower surrounded by a field of red poppy flowers.
Its the contrast in colour only not shape, texture, light etc that makes this work.
