This image is of a girl standing on a big buoy out in the deep ocean. She is holding onto it while leaning towards the ocean and looking down. The buoy is a bright red that attracts your eye immediately. The ocean is a deep blue and the girl is wearing a purple dress with no shoes. The lighting is bright because the sky is clear, but the buoy is casting a big shadow over some of the ocean, causing it to look dark. 9/21/2018 08:37:00 am
In this image, we see what looks like a woman standing on a bob that is in the water to let boats know where they are when they are out at sea. She seems to be looking down at the water and leaning over it. This then makes the bob in the water lean over as well and she looks like she could fall in. In addition, she is wearing a dress and is not wearing a bathing suit at all, which is very strange because she is in the middle of the ocean. I think that Cig Harvey wants us to see this past the literal and notice the deeper meaning to the dress.

This image depicts a female looking down into the water while holding on to a water buoy in what appears to be the middle of the ocean. There’s varying shades of blue, which indicate the sky and water. The sharp red of the buoy is a stark contrast to the majority of the picture, and the woman is in a purple/pink outfit, which is unusual given the context of location. Natural light is being used, and it appears to be mid-morning or late afternoon. The only objects are clouds, the sky, the buoy, the woman, and the water. The buoy has two #3’s on different sides of it.

The image is of a woman holding onto a buoy in the middle of the ocean. The buoy is red with the number 33 on it. The woman is wearing a purple dress. The picture is using a lot of red and blue. The blue is for the ocean and the sky. The red is for a contrast. The image is taken in bright sunlight.
The photograph by Cig harvey of a girl on a bright red floaty thing with a white arial fonted number three on it in the sea of which looks a bit like a combination of turquoise and Dark blue, and there is no sign of any land or ships nearby besides the red floaty thing to show a feeling of loneliness in the photograph. The lighting is very bright with the sun to the right side of the photographer seeming like it is about a half hour after sunrise seeing it is not too bright.

The image is of a girl on a buoy looking into the depths of the ocean. The main colors that the image uses is red and different blues. The lighting is either at a sunrise or a sunset giving it a very natural light. Things that are in this image are a sea buoy and a girl. The girl is holding onto the edges of the buoy and hanging over the edge to look into the ocean.

In this image, there is a girl in a purple dress standing on a red buoy, labeled with a white number 3. The girl is looking down into the ocean. The buoy is tilting to the side under the girl’s weight. The main color used in the photo is the blue of the ocean and the sky. The buoy is red, causing it to stand out. The lighting is natural, and it looks to be late afternoonish, judging by the shadow cast onto the girl by the buoy.

In the photo there is a girl on a floating buoy lighthouse in the ocean. The buoy has the number 3 on it and is red. The bouy is red because it’s easier to see red and the bouy is in the middle of the ocean because there is a higher area of rocks there. The lighting is bright and it looks like it could be outside. The girl is looking down with her arms reached behind her grabing onto the buoy.

In this image I see a woman standing on a buoy in the middle of the ocean. There is a lot of blue from the sky and the water but a little red from the buoy and purple from her dress. I would assume that it is using bright natural light. There is a girl, a buoy, the number 3 on it, and some clouds. The woman on the buoy is leaning forward it kind of looks like she might fall in by the way she is standing.

The image includes a distinct small red beacon which is constructed of metal and a light on the top. The woman is holding on to the edges of the beacon. She is wearing a lavender color dress which seems to be wet along with her hair. The red is a contrast to the blue of the ocean, and the purple seems to be a complementary color to the red. The lighting is natural and looks like the photo was taken during sunrise as the refreshing, egg yolk-like, yellow is lighting half of the women and ¾ of the beacon. The clouds in the background are very subtle with a hint of blue.

The image is photoed in the middle of the ocean under the daylight. It’s a bright image and the sun shone from the back of the camera. A woman, in the left part of the picture, stood on a red buoy. She gripped strongly at the right side of buoy. Her body tilted and she’s staring into the water. The blue in the background contrasts with the bright red buoy by using the complementary colors. The woman’s dress has balanced the main color theme of the picture. Many guesses of her stories can be made based on the woman’s action.

In this photo we are introduced to lady floating on a buoy in what looks like the ocean. The sky is clear and the reflection of sunlight on the buoy indicates that it is mid afternoon. There are no ships or sailboats in the background, leaving the background to be only ocean and sky. There are very few clouds in the sky and there is not much going on there either. If we look closely, we can see that the lady is holding on the buoy very tightly and staring at the ocean, her hair flowing in front of her face. Comments are closed.
