 My 16 yo niece and 13 yo nephew, reluctantly posing for yet another picture. This is one that is subtle (there are a lot of opposites here), yet obvious. Don't really expect it to score to well, simply because it is kinda flat to me and just jump out and "wow" you.

Post processing --

Cropped, desaturated the greens, which left some really yellow dandelions, so I tried desat the yellow, but that made my niece's neck gray. (?) So, I went back to the adjustment screen, and turned the "wheel" to the exact tone that I needed and desated that a little to get rid of the yellow flowers. Tried boosting the sat on the other colors, but it turned the grass a weird reddish color. USM, border added, resized, compressed.

Forgot about it until just a few minutes to go with less than an hour left!

yeah they're opposites, but I just don't find it a very interesting shot.

Not a clear opposite in my opinion. Girls & boys can have either length hair.

Interesting take on the challenge. I think, however, the girl's hair scrunchie and the orange on the boy's cap are distractions.
