Look carefully at this image, how does it work?
If I was to describe this photograph to someone who could not see it, i would describe it as boring and dull because there is nothing happening in this picture. The space is represent in 3 different ways; foreground, background and middle ground. In the foreground I can see a sign with a cloud on top making it look like an ice cream cone (or so it seems) , in the background there is a mysterious road that leads to somewhere unknown and in the middle ground there is a triangular tree, a triangular house and a caravan. In focus there is a house, a caravan, trees and the sign. The part of the photograph that strikes me most interesting is the middle, because there is a cloud on top of it or so it seems. If i was to ask any questions to the artist about his work i would ask why did you take the picture in this place at this time. To live in this photograph it would probably be very boring because I do not see anything exiting going on in the picture that would be intriguing for me. I suppose the artist took this photograph because of the optical elution of the sign and the clouds, the clouds look like they are on top of the sign making it look like an ice cream cone. In my opinion I think that the ice cream cone optical elution is very effective because it is interesting and the photographer timed it just right so that it would look like it does now.
