Flesh Hues

The most striking thing about this image is the abundance of frames. Not only does the window frame the two participants in the image, but the frames which surround the art frame the man and woman. In the foreground, a frame is continuing into the viewer's focus while the background presents cement blocks and windows of a van. Because most of the picture is comprised of squares and rectangles (specifically: the fire escape, the building, the van, the windows, the telephone booth, the art, all taking place in the corner of a room), the images presented in the photograph that are not rectangular are most prominent and attracted the viewer's eye.
Immediately, the viewer notices the man and woman. She poses in a seductive manner while he seems a little reluctant. She appears to be on the phone so while enticing the man to come closer, she still retains some form of distance. She is not completely involved with the situation. The colors in the image are mostly muted grays and blues, contrasting greatly with the presence of flesh hues. The nude figurine in the corner appears to be attempting to cover herself. This posture directly opposes the inviting nature of the woman and the man's exposed upper body.
