One specific thing that interested me about this photograph was that the photographer himself is indeed taking the picture; however, he is not looking at the camera. His wife is though. The background is also rather eye-catching; there is a beach and mountain along the left side of the frame and the inland coast on the right, giving off a nice mood for the viewer. I myself felt calmer just seeing a beach. And last but not least, while the overall tone of the picture is flat, the blacks are rich and the highlights very detailed, it is very well printed.
Hello, I'm Deja. I really liked this image by Garry Winogrand:
It's a moment of action caught. Football players leaping, running, are scattering about. The referee stands on the sideline ready to call a penalty. A packed audience watches with anticipation and excitement. This climatic photo is dramatized even more by the angle it is captured at. Because the photo is in black and white it enhances the intensity of the picture. Texture is everywhere, from the tarp of the field to the full crowd in the stadium seats. Tones and shades of the rich black, white, and grey vary. The whites and light grays contrasts with the dark grays and blacks. Horizontal and vertical lines dance around the image helping balance the space, while filling it. Motion throughout the photograph creates a powerful rhythm and flow.
