This is an image of a woman hanging, or leaning off a buoy. There is the ocean which is blue and the buoy is red and she's wearing a purple dress. The lighting is very bright and not a studio set-up. The buoy and the woman are the two main object in the photo. She is pulling the buoy over to the side bit. It is very pleasing to look at. I like the brightness the photo gives off. There are 3’s on the buoy which is a cool touch to the photo. The angle is normal eye view and the artist herself is on the buoy and she probably had someone to push the button to take the exposure. The whole photo is in focus which is deep depth of field. The focal point is the buoy and the women and its framed by the ocean water. The waves can lead you to the buoy but it is pretty apparent to see the buoy. Yes the image is pretty well balance, it doesn't seem unbalanced when you look at it but the buoy is a little over the left. The photo fills the frame. There isn't much negative space, it is mostly very light and bright. You could interpret a lot from the photo like she might be going swimming but since she is wearing a dress it's hard to think that. The photo was staged because she isn't even wet. No there is no story being told. It was her intention to do this, im not really sure why but it looks super cool. This image is very beautiful and interesting to me. I do like the photo is really interesting because you never really see someone in the middle of the ocean on a buoy. It was a very creative idea. I think it is very successful.

This is an image of a woman on a buoy in the middle of an ocean. She is leaning off of the buoy, yet still holding on. The weather looks clear, not rainy, nor too sunny for the abandoned woman. The sky has few to no clouds, only the little ones. The photo looks as if it was taken on a boat close to the woman. She looks as if she has been there for a while. Starved, wet, and tired.

This picture is an image of a woman, Cig Harvey, leaning over the side of a buoy looking down into the ocean. The image is using blues, reds, purples and whites. Because the background is blue, the center of the image stands out more. The lighting is bright indicating that the image was taken during mid-day. The image is bare of objects except for a woman standing on a buoy.

This picture captures the image of a a lady on a buoy in the middle of the ocean. The lady is wearing a purple dress and is standing on a red rusted buoy. The ladies hair is messed up and is looking longfully into the ocean. The ocean is dark grey and blue. The sky is a light sky blue with hints of clouds. The buoy really stands out in the blue background. The lighting looks as if it is towards the end of day maybe like 5 pm. 9/11/2017 12:30:42 pm
This image contains a single buoy in what seems to be the middle of the deep - watered ocean. A woman in a dress is standing on the edge of the buoy, leaning far forward with the buoy being the only thing preventing her from falling into the ocean. The purpose of the colors used is clearly to emphasize the focal point of the image, the buoy and the woman. There is a contrast between the blue in the background and the bright red and purple of the foreground. The lighting is bright, with a clear sky during midday. The setup being used is incredibly unclear, with the photo appearing to have been taken in the middle of the ocean. The only objects being used in this image are the buoy and the woman in the center of the image. The number 3 is clearly written on the buoy.

This image is of a lady in the middle of a body water standing on a buoy. The buoy is tilted toward the side that she is standing on and says the number three on all of its sides. The woman is leaning off of the side facing the water, but holding onto the buoy’s structure for support. The colors being used in this image are blue, red, white, and purple. The lighting is like a mild day, it is not dark but not bright and sunny. The sky just looks very serene and calm.

Pictured is a lady hanging off of a buoy in the middle of the ocean. She is looking down into the water and only hanging on to the bars of the buoy, while facing the water. The water looks pretty peaceful, there isn’t much wave or motion in the water besides a few ripples caused by the wind. The sky is clear and the time of day appears to be around sunset.

The image is of a buoy that sat in an empty sea, with a woman, looking down into the ocean. In the ocean and the sky, there is blue, all over, a lighter blue in the sky, as well as a deeper ocean blue in the sea. The buoy however, is painted with bright red’s that pop off of the page and give a focal point that the eye snaps to in an instant. The woman on the buoy is leaning off of it, but holding onto the edges of the buoy. The girl in the photo seems to be staring off into the water.

The image is a picture of a lady that is leaning over a big buoy in a dress. It doesn’t look like she has jumped in at all because she looks completely dry. It is using a dark blue ocean, a baby blue sky, and a bright red buoy to make it stand out from everything else. Most of the picture has bright colors, except for the ocean, which makes it seem like the girl is about to plunge into darkness. The image kind of makes me think the girl is depressed and she is about to end it all.

I think this photo is very cool. The position of the camera shows no evidence of there being land anywhere in sight, giving the impression that the subject is completely alone in open water. She’s totally dry, making me wonder how she got out to that buoy. I think the horizon behind her adds to the depth of this photo, and adds to the loneliness of the subject. I notice the way the girl is staring down at the ocean and it makes me wonder what’s going on inside her head. Is she depressed? Fearless? I only say fearless at the way she’s leaning and pulling the buoy towards the water.

This image contains only the sea, the sky, and a woman holding on to a red buoy. The main color here is blue, as the sky is clear and the sea is a darker blue. The buoy stands out prominently, as it is colored red on a blue background, with a couple of white 3s on it and a lantern on top. There is a woman holding onto the buoy wearing a purple gown. The lighting from the sun is fairly bright, yet fading, as if this image is taking place in the evening. Comments are closed.
