Contrast
when different aspects of the same element of art oppose, or are different than each other.

In this photo of a a leaf, I see a leaf on some sort of background that appears to be wood like. The contrast, can be seen in the bright yellow in the organic shape of a leaf contrasted with the duller blue lines of the background. This contrast conveys a sense of decay in my opinion. This image is appealing to me because it portrays the beauty found even in the decay of a dying leaf.

In this photo of a a branch with leaves, I see some greenery and some startlingly red leaves. The contrast, can be seen in the red leaves contrasting with the green in the surroundings, and the value differences between the crisp sharp leaves and the blurred surroundings. This contrast conveys a sense of fragility in my opinion. This image is appealing to me because the dangling leaves turning colors as they die in the autumn season emphasize a feeling of the fleeting fragility of life.
