One of these plates is contaminated

I tried hard to capture what was easy to see with the eyes, but all I got was this. The plate on the bottom is contaminated, if you look hard enough you can see that the media is slightly orange-y which is a sign of contamination. Fungus contamination changes the pH of the cell media and there is a indicator included in it that changes colour to indicate contamination.
