Timothy wins a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses courtesy of LensCrafters.
Second place was shared by Kaitlin Chan, who also took inspiration from nature with her differing sizes, and Stephanie Smith, who contrasted colours.
Second runner up Ashwin Suniil Wadwani looked at a very different kind of contrast: social differences.
Well done to all those who took part - you made it hard to pick a winner.
The winner of the Readers' Award is Dhruv Singh. He wins a Young Post bag of goodies and a great book. Congrats Dhruv!

Butterfly on Concrete
This photo was taken in October of 2009 somewhere near Stanley Market. I found that the spectacular colours and bright patterns of the butterfly contrasted with the dull, grey concrete ground where it lay.

Life in a Cemetery
This photo was taken in October of 2009 during a trip to Stanley Cemetery. The numbers and varieties of different flowers and life amazed me, especially in such a solemn place.
Oasis
This photo was taken in October of 2009 on a helicopter ride. In such as concrete jungle like Hong Kong, it was amazing to find such different and contrasting landscapes like the ones in the photo.
Feather in the bushes
This photo was taken in October of 2009 in Kowloon Park. The feather was simply lying on the shrubs, probably left be a bird that was once perched on top of it. The soft, bright feathers really contrasted well with the dark, pointy leaves.

Tiny Explorers
This photo was taken during a school trip to Cambodia. I was walking along a path with a metal wire fence, and noticed how ants were traveling along with us, on the fence.

Cloud Invasion
The urban setting of the highway contrasted to the natural colors and clouds in the sky. It made me realize how urbanization can overwhelm natural sights of an area, but also sometimes enhance it: the sky looked brighter behind stark skylines of buildings.
Pollen
I was taking photos for a nature assignment in my photography class, and chose to photograph the metallic, shiny bee resting on the delicate, matte flower.
Sightseeing
This photo was also taken on a school trip to Cambodia, on which we went on a boat trip with some local underprivileged children we had befriended. There was a group of boys gathered at the front of the boat's roof, and despite how gloomy the weather was, they were still excited to be seeing Cambodian sights while on the Mekong river. I like the way their brightly colored shirts and the flag on the boot contrast in color.

Reality
Today the hard working, rich people are always prominent (in magazines, newspapers and the like) and the people who think it’s cool to just take it easy and always blurred in the background.

A surprising splash of colour
This picture was taken during a trip to the arts museum on one cool, sunny afternoon. I suddenly noticed a beautiful little rainbow on the floor between my friend and me. Then it was just us versus the rainbow!

Reflection
I took this picture when I was on a safari in South Africa with my family a couple of years ago. I like the contrast between the black and white zebras and the vibrant green background scenery.
