So this contrast is not a strict Ittens contrast? More of an opposites contest?

Wow... that was quick Bill. Good job in the new contest selection.

Sadly, you realize that you're a novice when you have to google Ittens contrast like me

Got it... that's what I figured, but I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks Bill... this should be an interesting contest that I'll have to think about when shooting.

That pic looks to show color shades. Not the green triangle laying across the blue and yellow, the purple triangle across the blue and red, and the orange triangle across the red and yellow. On the outer ring, it just shows the same color blends but in finer steps as you follow the circle around (e.g. as you go clockwise, note how the outer circle becomes more blue as you move from red/blue to blue on the inner-most triangles).

So we have Bill's entries into his contest... j/k

Nice pic dcstep!

For organizational purposes in the voting thread? Ultimately, the category won't matter unless we plan on having multiple winners for this contest.
