contrast

This is a art piece i did last year. I think this demonstrates a number of techniques used in contrasting.
The smoothness of the girls skin to the roughness of the ruins surrounding her is a good example of contrast and is in my opinion very effective.
There is also contrast between dark areas and light areas. Light areas being the girl herself and the moon, and the rest of the image staying quite dark which gives it a sort of hierarchy.
The picture is also balanced into negative and postive space.
Lastly, the woman has very soft and curvy egdes in comparison to the edges of the concrete which are sharp and jaggered. This works well together.
