This photograph features two women leaning against a shop window. Most of the image is a reflection of the street behind the photographer. The women are in the left and right corner of the picture. Behind there heads are two black vertical window frames. This image has been taken in black and white. I think this image stands out more in black and white because it shows more reflection in the background and it makes the picture stand out more. If the image would have been in colour we might be distracted from the pattern of reflections and the different tones of the image. |
