How to subtract two images in matlab?

I have couple of images below which I want to subtract from each other. The images are taken from the same sample at different time frames. I want to notice the movement of the particles between those time frames. So I want to take out the part of the image that only contains the liquid particles. I want to subtract INTENSITY14.JPG from INTENSITY15.JPG. Ideally, the resultant image should look like SUBTRACT.JPG where the red dased box shows the part of the image which contains the liquid. But, I am getting the result as shown in S1.jpg which is undesirable. Below is my code. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
a = imread('Intensity15.jpg');
b = imread('Intensity14.jpg');
dblSubtractedImage = double(a) - double(b);
imshow(dblSubtractedImage, []);

Your code is successfully subtracting the two images. The reason your subtraction looks like that is because your two images are so closely correlated that whatever is left after subtraction is mostly noise. How did you get SUBTRACT.jpg? I don't see how you could get an image like that from subtracting a and b.
