Question answers: In the centre of the picture there is a large, triangular road sign which is facing backwards towards the camera, it is the main focus of the picture. Behind the sign to the left side there is a small two story house with a triangular roof. It is slightly covered by the tall tree to the far left. In front of this house, there is a large empty concrete ground which looks like an old car park. There is a tiny hill separating the house from the empty area. To the right of the sign you can see a large, wide road which probably goes down the centre of a street. However you can't quite see if it does because the right half of it is cut of the end of the photograph. There's a thin grass strip that separates the concrete ground from the road. The main road is very empty and dull. There is one small car near the left of the road which is facing sideways to the camera. Behind that car and in the background, lots of trees stand on the left side of the road in a line down the street. The sky is very clear other than one cloud which has been placed just above the road sign to look as if it was sitting on it due to the composition the photographer chose. It is made up of three small circles, the middle one slightly higher than the other two, and has resemblance of an ice-cream cone.
In the foreground there is the large road sign which looks like the main focus along with the little cloud overtop. The middle ground is fairly plain and hasn't got much filling it. The background has the house and caravan, along with some trees behind them which fill up lots of space in the picture. The back of the sign is in focus and is the centre piece. The trees and small car are out of focus and are part of the background. The subject has been composed in the centre to focus the attention on it.
The part of the photograph that strikes me as most different and interesting is how the clouds sit above the road sign. It creates a really unique illusion of them being really close to us, however they're actually miles away. It makes the composition of the picture much more creative and clever, which is why i like it.
If the artist was here, i would ask them: what sparked them to create this unique composition? What tips they would have for finding things like this in everyday life, and what they think made it an interesting picture.
I think it would be quite dull to live in this photograph as there is nothing very interesting going on in the background meaning its just another boring road. It also looks like there aren't many people living around the area.
I think the artist made this photo because they saw potential in the boring place and wanted to make something creative out of it. I think this because they used the illusion of a photograph to their advantage and tried to make a captivating centre point for the main focus.
I think the illusion of the cloud works really well and is very effective. I think the background of the photo doesn't work so well because the colours of the trees are quite bold compared to the sign and clouds, so it slightly draws the attention of the main focus to the background.
