Living and dying
by train

Comment:
Nice work. Your background works very well to divide the image into two parts: one part frames the living flower (left) and the other frames the dying flower (right). I think all of your visual cues are working together here - and everything, including your title, captures the "opposite" concept.

Red and green are contrasting hues, but I don't think the difference between figure and ground is sufficient enough to capture the "opposite" concept.

Heads or Tails

Comment:
Good use of space - foreground/background, head/tail are working together. Had the "head" penny been completely in focus (and the tail not), then I would have rated this higher. Heads and tails are truly opposites.

Variations of Old and New: Post Modern, Modern and Gothic

Your title leads me to believe you didn't capture the "opposite" concept, but rather mere differences. Also, I can't put my finger on it - but the blue band doesn't seem quite right.

HORSEPOWER?

Comment:
Great detail - especially in the wake of the powered rowboat. Image seems a bit dark as a whole. Perhaps "manpower vs. horsepower" may have been a better title.

Heaven and earth

Your title and objects both work to support the "opposite" concept. I like the diagonal horizon. The blues look unnatural, however, in both the sky and grasses. Also, I think that if the day had been a clear day (few or no clouds), then the apparent differences in "noise" and texture would have provided even more evidence of the "opposite" concept.

Normal People; Insane People

Which person is the insane person? The Naked Cowboy or the dolt pushing his child into a NYC traffic lane before he enters it himself? I don't think this image captures the "opposite" concept.

Hunter and Hunted

Comment:
I like the layout - but the branches command too much of the figure (via focus and brightness) and so they are pushing your spider and fly into the background. Conversly - I think you've done a really good job of not letting the geometric pattern of the web (via focus?) overwhelm the image.

Comment:
Light and dark certainly capture "opposite." Perhaps if the candle was off-center, so that the light would be on a side opposite of darkness (rather than surrounded by it) then every element of the image would be working together. Nice work.

Hard and Soft

Comment:
Nice figure and ground. Off-center framing works too. I'm not sure a flower/stem conveys "soft" as well as the pavers/stones convey "hard."
