There is a man in a suit with his eyes closed. He is standing in a river that is up to his stomach. There are twelve red balloons that are all around him. There looks to be no exit from the river. The balloons vary in size.

The image shows a young man standing in a suit in a body of water, it seems to be a river. Balloons surround the man, floating at about head height, he has his eyes closed. It uses the bright red color of the balloons as a high contrast against the muted blue-grey of the suit and surrounding water. The lighting is slightly dark but not quite night time, possible around 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Other than the balloons, no other objects are in the picture, this is because the artist wants to draw all attention to the few things that are there.

The image seems very eerie and spooky. The image depicts a young man walking through a body of water. While walking through the water he is surrounded by red balloons. The colors mainly used are red and green. The lgh has a shadow but for the most part is natural lighting. The image seems very intricate.

This image is about a man that is about to sink in water. There is red balloons around him. His body is halfway in and halfway out of the water. The man is in the river of some sort of jungle or tree area. You can tell by the green plants and trees behind him.

To answer the questions under the image, I think the artist used a tripod and the self timer. The image is taken outside and so there was lots of natural light. You can see that they added contrast to the image. This photograph was made by a river. Really he is in the river.

There is a man standing in the water with balloons coming out of the water. The weather looks rainy because the picture is a little dark. We can tell from the picture that the water is not really deep and balloons are fixed with weights under the water. The color used in the image is mostly green, black and red. The reason for that is to make the balloons more striking.

This image is of a guy in a river with red balloons surrounding him. There are green tees behind him on the bank of the river. There are small reflections on the red balloons and they seem to all be the same one. The man is wearing a grey suit, a white shirt, and a red tie. The water is a very shallow green color, almost grey color.

This image is about a guy in a river with balloons surrounding him. The image is using strong and bright colors, the suit and the balloons really stand out. The lighting is bright where the guy is standing but dark on top. The objects that are included in the image are balloons, trees, and a person in the water. The guy looks like he is dreaming about him being in the river with balls, this can symbolize confusion, or sadness. Comments are closed.
