Olivio Barbieri

The invert effect in this photograph is appealing and quite interesting. The symmetrical balance in the photograph is also interesting as well as the inverted color textures presented. The solid bold red in the sky of the photograph gives it a more deeper cityscape meaning as well. 

The image of a small town portrayed here is interesting because I enjoy micro images and how small objects are instead of their natural large original side. This photograph portrays great micro imagery here and that's what I find very intriguing. In my personal digital work I want to portray more micro images just as Olivio Barbieri has here.  

The micro-sized vehicles in this photograph is interesting. It looks like childish figures on a play set for the younger audience. The way the cars and trucks are set up together on the play set is interesting as well. It is fun to view something like this every now and again and makes your childish mind want to start playing with cars and trucks again. 

Franco Fantana

This abstract photograph caught my eye because of the texture in the sky and the yellow pasture. The yellow is so bright and really makes you look deeply in the image. The warm water colors of blue and violet mixed together are also quite wonderful.

The first thing I noticed about this photograph was the number 87 planted on this background that looks   as though it's snowing. It had a Christmas look because of the solid red and blue colors. The photograph also portrays another view of looking down below at a far away object as well. 

The clown-like figure looks intriguing because of the expression on his face and how he looks down. Another green figure next to him also looks interesting. The color choice and the different shades of green also portray a brighter meaning as well. 

Ansel Adams

 Every time I look at the photographs taken by Ansel Adams I get a sense of not just surrealism but also a sense of a journey taking place. The darkened mountains and the ghost-like clouds add that effect on the photograph. The subject of the moon also adds a nice effect in the darkened sky as well.  

 What I like about this specific photograph is how the water hits against the rocks on the shore and how there are mountains and one small tree on top of the rocks. I feel this photograph also plays a role in a journey-like aspect as well. I feel the photographs Adams takes is as though their on their way somewhere far beyond what I have ever seen before. 

The reflective elements in this image really display an amazing affect in the water and also above water.  The bridge in the middle of the water plays an important role as well. The scenery also has a great effect of detail as well. The way the trees are placed in the subject and also another mountain stands firm on the right hand side of the image. 

Simon Norfolk

The man subjected to the right side of the photo makes it look more interesting then if he was centered. He holds many balloons of different colors in his one hand and next to him looks like an abandoned civilization. The exterior of that building looks very interesting as well. The dust-like clouds above brings out the image a little more as well. 

This photograph was one of my favorites of Norfolk's work. The tree looks so dreamlike; so surreal as though you can not simply just walk along somewhere and find it. The tree looks quite mysterious, seeing that it has no leaves on it except in one small area, and the background of the darker foliage and the orange tinted sky sets this photograph in a very interesting and appealing sight. 

What I found interesting about this image is how the building in the background has the left side collapsing and the sheep in the foreground seem to be running away with the blur of their bodies making it seem their running away. A mountain top can be seen just behind the building. I figured that the sheep in motion collides with the building falling below.
