Reflection - Image #4
This image holds many strengths in my eyes. There's a strong symmetric value, almost as if the picture was split by an imaginary divisor right down the middle. The repetition of the paint marks on the road and draw the eye around the layout of the picture in a diamond motion and add a unique interest to the composition. It doesn't distract from the rest of the image's busyness, as the cars blend in nicely with the paint (similar in color) and continue leading the direction of the viewer's gaze. There's certainly a hectic rush to the individual pieces of the image, though the softness of the coloring and the darker overall tones give the image an ironic calmness.
