William Eggleston Photography

 The glazed and bright blue colors portray the subject of the image. Not a single person can be seen in the image, but the bright foliage can be seen with great depth of field. To the right of the photo is a building facing to the side with a small overhead porch. If this image was in black and white the sky will be blown with white light and the blue trees will be dark blacks with light detail. What I dislike about the image is the lack of sky and what I like about the image is the bright blue subject matter over casting most of the image. The relationship of color depicts a black and white resemblance and that is quite intriguing. 


 The subject matter characterizes five figurines of farm animals placed among a metal object which I guessed was the hood of an old automobile. The pig and two billy goats are a bright blue, the cat is a dazzling red and the bright golden duck is the brightest among them all. In black and white the red cat will be the darkest of all the animals and the bright yellow duck would be the brightest color of the rest of the animals. The hard metal that the figures are surfaced on will be a thick black color as well. I like how the yellow duck dominates the use of color portrayed in this image. I dislike that their are only five figures to view and not more. Eggleston use for color photography is interesting here but not as interesting. The subject matter is interesting but I wish there was more of the subject matter involved and maybe being that the golden duck would be the one that constantly points out of the crowd. The color relations are here in this image with all the figures being animals and that they are all following the golden duck leading the way. 


It is obvious here that the subject matter is the tricycle portrayed in an worm's eye angle view. The tricycle will have great details in the bike if it was in black and white. The tricycle's handlebars and the seating will have bright gray and white details. The wheels will be dark and the background of the two houses will be bright will small minor details as well. The rusted handle bars will have sharp great details as well and will be interesting to see in black and white. I like and I understand that the tricycle is the subject matter distributed here in the photograph and what I dislike about this image is the lack of mobility of the tricycle. It would look more interesting then it's side-view angle. Everyone has seen a tricycle in the side-view angle and I also would like to see the shadows on the subject on the pavement as well. The bright red handle bars really distinguish the use of colors in this image. Next it would be the blue tricycle's seat. The houses in the background are a dull beige and white color so they are not the most appealing colors here in this image.
