Umm... Pictures of nature tend to look stunning because we self-select for stunning pictures. Most of actual nature is boringly drab greys and browns.

- mapleoin 16y agoI think the idea is more about finding different colors that go well together. If you randomly take a bright green and a bright blue they might not be a good match, but if you take the green and blue from the frog on that picture, they will work better together.
- DanI-S 16y agoExactly. For the example images I deliberately chose bright colours that might not seem obvious (at least to my uneducated eye) to put together. However, there's no reason at all why less outlandish colour combinations can't look wonderful; even the most ordinary sparrow is beautiful if you look close. http://sdakotabirds.com/species/photos/chipping_sparrow.jpg http://sdakotabirds.com/species/photos/chipping_sparrow.jpg
