THIS WEEK, IN A POST CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO SHOWING JUXTAPOSITION.
If you would like to see what others have come up with for this challenge then go to the Daily Post @ WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge
Juxtaposition happens when there is two or more elements in a scene that either contrast each other, or one element contributes towards another to create an overall theme. To create a point of juxtaposition, the photo must have at least two elements in the photo that contains strong visual weight, so that the viewer looks at both at the same time and comes to their own conclusion about their purpose in the photo.
The Qutb Complex outside Delhi, India. Photo of the Qutb Minar (built in 1193) taken in 2008.
That was a timely shot Jude. Nice one.
Did you go up that tower? (Only joking…)
Regards as always, Pete. x
I’m not even sure whether you can go all the way up, but I did see people on the lower balcony, which was high enough! I have been waiting for a chance to post this photo – just love the image of the 12th century tower and the 21st century aeroplane. Though I hate to think what effect pollution is having on these buildings.
love the shot and so want to go to India.
It’s certainly an experience 😉
a good one?
Depends on your budget I guess. I just can’t bear all the dirt and poverty in your face all the time.
arrrh I don’t know if i should go or not…..
I have seen many of the challenge photos but this is definitely one of my faves. What a capture of a moment in time!
Thank you!
So now I know! No excuse, huh? 🙂
Yup. No excuse 🙂
Excellent capture – good job waiting for the moment 🙂
Thank you Tina. I was lucky!
Great shot Jude! This building is old, and so high!!! I feel woozy just looking at it!
I’ve yet to do mine…Monday ‘ain’t over yet 😉
Thanks Sherri. It was quite bizarre standing next to a tower that is from the 12th century and then a modern aeroplane shoot past!
