Critique #1


This is an image of a photograph that someone took. The title of it is, a Christian man respecting a Christian woman. It is a picture of a man opening the door for the lady to get into the car. This shows the idea of how the man has respect for the woman which ties into my theme of respect.
This photograph has many components to it. The telephone wires in the background create lines. The background with trees and house give the photo more detail. The forms of the people make them look realistic. The two people getting into the car is the foreground and they have the most detail. The proportion of the people and the car is correct. The focal points of the picture are the two people and the car. The chiaroscuro of the black and white makes the darker objects stand out more. The branches of the trees give texture to the picture. The shade of the car makes it stand out more because it is darker. The door that’s halfway open and the woman getting inside gives the photo movement. There is a wide range of value in the picture, going from white all the way to black. The trees and part of a house give the picture a sense of space.
The focal point of this picture is to show how the man has respect for the lady. Within this picture there is a subtle narrative. The story that this picture explains is, first off the man is picking his wife up from work, like usual. To show his respect for her, he opens the door for her to get in. She loves this sense of respect and smiles at him to show her appreciation. He smiles back and they get in the car to go home. This is the short narrative that this picture explains.
