Assignment 3: Colour - colour accent

This bottle in Trafalgar Square taken from the ground looking up shows a small area of red against the blue sky. The red seal on the bottle is very defined. The bottle contains a boat which has some red in it but not nearly so strong. The blue sky really makes the photo. I like the way you can see the sky through the glass which creates more interest.
This was a small patch underneath a tree which I thought looked stunning. It was set in a concrete jungle of offices and shops and looked so delicate. It shows the accents of red and pink - next to one another on the colour wheel - against a background of contrasting green leaves (opposite to red on the colour wheel) and dried out brown leaves. The darker brown of the soil also creates a good contrast. There's quite a lot going on colourwise in this photo but it's the accents of pink and red that stick out the most.

This was a painting I found in an arcade which illustrates red with an accent of bluey/green. The different reds/oranges/yellows do not distract from the colour of the centre blue/green swirl of colour. They are contrasting colours which makes them stick out against one another well.
This is a picture of dusk looking up at the sky through a tree with the leaves creating colour accents of yellow against the blue sky. The flash picked out the leaves and because the sky was turning from a bright blue to a dusky blue it looks very rich making the leaves stick out even more.
