My favorite picture is picture 37. I like how your eye is drawn straight to the message on the cross. The rest of the crosses are faintly blurred so even more focus is put on the cross with the message on it. The message on the cross itself give the whole picture a very sad and kind of depression mood to it.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite photo was photograph #15. The reason it is my favorite is because of the different moods capture in many parts of the photograph especially in the man's eyes. The colors and reflections in his eyes seems to be full of loss, hurt, experience, and wisdom. It seems as if in his eyes he is remembering or playing back in his mind what had happened and all those who were there. Also it gives me thoughts of loyalty and how til his last few years he remebers and still displays his loyalty towards his fallen brothers and friends.
