I like this photo by Pete turner because of two things. One the composition is amazing to me, I love how everything in this picture seems to pull me in.The snowy street that seems to have a slight incline, the buildings that border it, the sky even seems to pull me into this picture. The second thing I really like is the color choice turner chose. The stark blue with just a few dots of red seem to really work in this picture. I really get a sense of the cold and dreary cityscape of this scene that, had he otherwise left out and kept the picture it's natural color would have left me with others thoughts on this scape other than the reality of a frigid winter in the city
lets call this an expressive photo (it's not realistic or symbolic). it's a blue monochrome! those red dots certainly become focal points that move forward as well. it's also flat lighting, no shadows with their own forms to confuse the composition. post more to help make up for your early in the term absences :)
