2. Analysis - The lines in this photo make it really catch the viewer's eye. While the photo has a great deal of contrast as well, the fact that the closest tree divides the photo in to two sections and that the sun rays are shining through the trees make line the primary element.
3. Interpretation - The image is rather mysterious. Looking at the photo it's like there is a light side (left) and a dark side (right), while directly behind the tree there is a bright glowing light. Kinda like there are two sides you can choose from, and the bright light is there to help lead the way. Or religiously speaking, the bright light could even represent "God" watching from above, waiting to see which side you choose. His (God's), where he gives you light to help you see where you're going, or the darker more complicated route.
4. Judgement - At first this photo just looked like picture someone took of the woods in the winter and didn't seem really special, but after looking at it closer there is a lot more to the photo. The way that one tree divides the image and one side has light shining through and the other doesn't just amazes me. It's even cooler that there are so many ways you can interpret it.
First of all, I do like this photo. I enjoy natural pictures and black and white photography very much. I do notice contrast between the darker trees with the light and the snow. The line of the trees seem to make them appear tall or big.
ReplyDeleteIn contrast to Jared's interpretation, my interpretation would be that the light coming around the tree makes it stand out among the rest. I think this signifies to be different. Whether the meaning is religious/spiritual, or moral, or to show strength in values. I think it is intended for the audience to feel like they should stand up and stand out among others. The tree to me would represent the artist, or myself, whichever way you look at it. Standing out among my peers in my community, school, work, or just society in general. Again, i like the photo very much. Jared you did a good job!! Thank very much!!

ReplyDeleteI like this picture for several different reasons. One the crispy white snow and that it makes u wanna get ready for the upcoming season. The darkness in the trees and on the right side that give it a contrast setting. And the spaces in between the trees created the sun to shine through each one of them that creates the lines of elements. Jared i think your interpretation was great cause it did to be very mysterious with the darkness on one side and the lightness on the other. And with the sun shining through the trees really made me have spiritual thought. good job!!!!!!
