Many photographers know how to use contrast to benefit their photos. Contrast makes photos eye catching and can even make the most basic looking photos look great. There are two types of contrast:
Many excel at shooting photos with good tonal contrast. A good example of tonal contrast are silhouettes. The foreground is completely dark while the background is properly exposed. This works well because there is a sharp difference between the dark and light areas.
Color contrast is used less frequently because many people do not think about it. Capturing a photograph with good color contrast is more difficult than tonal contrast, but it is still quite easy. An image with good color contrast can look great even without any tonal contrast.

So July's theme is Colour Contrast

Some hints here:

Shots must be taken between now and the end of July.

Happy shooting
 


Liking the look of this one. Already got a few ideas. Hoping I can find something in Berlin. Perhaps some colourful artwork on the East Side Gallery.
 
Nice theme. Are black and white shots allowed? ;)

But as the theme is specifically colour contrast, and one of the links I provided describes the difference between tonal contrast and colour contrast, then your point is irrelevant.
