Sometimes the least harmonious elements make up the most beautiful compositions.
You'll see a prime example of this phenomenon in this month's MashableReads book selection Fates and Furies. The novel is a love story told through two juxtaposing perspectives that combine to offer a dynamic, nuanced peek into a marriage.

Inspired by the way the novel plays with contrasting points of view, we asked MashableReaders to submit photos of opposing elements.
Submissions ranged from photos of clashing colors to unique framing to juxtapositions of nature and architecture. Check out our favorite submissions below.
