Image #2 - analysis
February 4, 2008
In this color image the first thing the eye notices is the horizontal layering of the entire image. Upon further inspection a wild eye (of what I believe is a dark brown cow) is spotted peering over a weathered grayish-brown box stall. The top portion of his head is merged between the front and back section of his stall. Above his stall in the distance are green treetops and a blue and white streaked sky all adding to the horizontal plane of the image. A small area of shadow covers his one ear while the light showcases the fur around the edges of his ear.
The photographer has chosen the cow’s eye and top of his head as the area of sharp focus. I'm not sure whether the photographer is watching the cow or vice versa. The top portion of his snout and his wild eye glisten in the light. The box stall in the foreground and the trees and sky in the background are a not in sharp focus. This all adds to the overall appeal of the image and leads your eye upward through the layers.
This image could have been taken in a rural farm setting or he could be awaiting plastic wrap at your local market. It is such a close up shot of the cow and upper portion of his stall that it is hard to tell what his actual surrounding environment is. -------------NJO
