Woman Walking Cobblestones
Patterns within photographs can be used as subjects or backdrops that add meaning to subjects. Often they are most effective when the pattern is interrupted by an anomaly such as one item out of place or a sudden shift in color or texture.
This photograph uses patterns as an element that adds interest to the subject. Can you envision how the composition would change if the subject was placed on a solid asphalt surface? The pattern of stones is laid out in waves as if the woman were walking on fossilized water. The photographer has only shown us a portion of the woman and allowed us to imagine the rest of her attire. We can see she is a person who likes funky combinations, blue jeans and stiletto heels.
In the image at the top of the frame the feet an tail of a pigeon are visible. The photographer may want to consider trying to clone this out. Also, on the copy we received, the image appears to be a little soft. I think the sharper this composition is the better. Overall it’s a very clean concept.
