Perspective, the inclusive focal length, the symmetry of the three facing the viewer vs. the assymmetry of the diagonals created by light, shadow and lay of the land and sky pack quite a punch. The contrast works well, although details are sacrificed, where, IMO, they would be desirable, i.e. in the face and on the eyes of No. 1823.
The photo, as I perceive it, appears a hyperbolic part of a larger and serious narrative which is told very boldly and directly here, yet not without finesse and humour. Given this, I'd consider changing its somewhat pedestrian title to one to fit the story (whatever story may be extracted).
If it was mine, I'd coin it '1823'.
This is a remarkable image, well made and seen, André. I bow. |
