Homework #1

I like this photo by Adam Pretty. He successfully captured the moment of action when the swimmer spreading his arms, and the movement of his arms created an illusion of a bird spreading the wings. The splashes of water continued in a very organic way the movement of the hands and created a shape of the heart. The photographer masterfully framed the photo so nothing distracts from the strong swimmer, committed to sport and success. The viewer’s eye is caught by the contrast in color where dark is a background of water opposed to the light foreground with white splashes of water and highlights of the swimmer’s hands. The angle of the photo is very appealing and deliberate – the bird’s eye view.
