While on a walkabout with my macro lens I came across a yellowed leaf on a rough surface. The contrast between the textures on the leaf and the gravel was interesting and I brought out the details more by turning the image into black and white.

Funny enough I don't think you have enough contrast in this image. There is an even gray tone with no bright brights and dark darks imo. The two textues are contrasting though if that's what you meant by the title. A little curves would make it a better photo though.
An interesting choice for meeting the subject challenge - very abstract and different. The image could be a little more dramatic. A little more focus would have helped this image score higher. A good, solid entry into the challenge.
