Solitude Beach Silhouette By: Stephen Strathdee Getty Images

I am interested in this photo because of the colors that came out in this photo. I liked the way the clouds are blue and purple, and the sun was gold. The scene is on a beach with a man standing in the light of the sun which turns him black with a shadow. The water on the ground is a reflection of the sun and the clouds in the sky scene. I think the light of subject matter is reflection, shadow and a little bit of light vs. dark because the reflection is the sky reflecting on the water of the beach. I think the shadow is the sun on the person standing on the beach, and the light vs. dark is the clouds are mostly dark blue and purple, where the sun is vibrant with gold.

I am interested in this photo because it caught my eye while I was doing my research. This caught my eye because it showed the true meaning of brother and sisterhood. To me this showed that family is important and showed love between the two young ones. The light as subject matter is shadow and light vs. dark. I think this photo portrays shadow because it does not show any of the body of the people in the picture. This is a shadow because you can not see the person in color and the body parts are not very visible. I think this shows light vs. dark also because the shadows are dark while the background is lighter. This also draws more attention to the shadow of the two children.

I am interested in this picture because it is a beautiful scene. I like the black, blue and purple colors that set the mood of an eerie feeling. I liked the way the moon isn’t very bright because there is a cloud of smoke in front of it. I think that this photo is an example of light as subject matter. I think this picture qualifies as light vs. dark and shadow. I think that this photo is light vs. dark because the moon shines off on the background of the woods, but makes the trees dark and a shadow.
