This picture shows color and contrast. It was photographed very well and you can see it was set up. It interesting how the helmet seems to be floating on the water. It's really frozen but that's what it looks like. The helmet an dbird bath cast a purple looking shadow. the sun light shows the opposite color of the white helmet. When I look at this and describ it: I see a cement bird bath with water frozen in it and a helmet sitting on top. There is a shadow casted to the right of the picture showing the whole bird bath and helmet in the side of a white shingled house. You can't really capture a green shadow for the red on the helmet because it's not really 3-D or sticking out to make a shadow.
It kind of relates to Paul Cezanne's paintings because he always has the casting shadow of anything white looking purple or as all sorts of different colors in it to cast a shadow.

vibrance

The vibrant colors of the matching sweatshirts make this photo attractive to the eye. The 80's workout look also gives it another nice look.

Looking at this picture you would'nt realize that this is a dance team but it is. They are standing on the track at a football feild waiting to dance.

The composition could be better in the photo, but the color is good to me. Also, the placement good be a little better too.

This picture is very cheerful, and to me makes you want to join in on the fun that was to be had that night. I guess you could call it a playful picture.

Comparing this picture to Elizabeth Murray's paintings
