Other examples of photographic juxtaposition, including those on incongruity, street photography, landscapes, opposites and contradictions, layered imagery, and the addition and subtraction of context. Juxtaposition can play a crucial role in creating expression in each of these areas – so crucial that it deserves a gallery all of its own.
Juxtaposition involves comparing two or more elements within a photograph, bringing out either the similarity or dissimilarity between them. Juxtaposition also can involve contrasting elements. In such cases, we will see elements that are strikingly, and often incongruously, different. We can compare and contrast elements by placing them side-by -side, above or below each other, or layer them in the foreground, middleground and background."

wndrlst FTW! 
It's going to be hard to top that shot. Very on-theme for such a tough topic.
I'm still scratching my head, trying to think of what I'm going to shoot...

Don't close it up. Get your asses out there and shoot. 
This is a reallyl good theme, and I don't have anything good in mind, so somebody may as well go out there & shoot the winning photo, so I don't have to strain my feeble brain. Geez Louise.

It was worth a try. All you've got to do to win this crowd over is take a picture of a couple of sets of boobs "juxtaposed." Piece o' cake.

Is that one big one and one small one? Or one real and one filled? Is that the correct definition of "juxtaposed"?
