To be honest, just looking at the picture, I do not get the message. I see a dog transport box in a field on a sunny day, I hardly can see whether there is something inside. Composition wise it is clear that the focus should go the the box, there are no distracting elements, but I don't get any message, any feeling at all when I see the picture.
Just my observations. |
Ah, I didn't even realize I named it that. Yeah, trapped. Self portrait- that's how I felt when I took the picture.
If you think of it as a self portrait, you have to think of the person taking the picture as the dog, at least, that's how I see it. The person, trapped in a cage, in an open area on a beautiful day. And there is a dog in there, your monitor must be a little dark, 'cause I can see it perfectly.
Maybe it's not as good as I thought. I got an A on it though. :)
And thanks very much for your opinion! |
