The Wall
There is no such thing as right and wrong when it comes to photography, well almost nothing. If it works and the viewer is interested in the image no matter what rules you break it’s still a good photograph. There’s the rub, if it works for the viewer! And how does the photographer know if it works? The only way I can answer that is to say experiment and see. But your work must be intentional, not just luck. That’s where talent and practice are required.
This is an interesting experiment in the use of a subject not being as strong as the supporting graphic elements. The skull is small in relation to the strong lines of the roof eves. The viewer’s eye is constantly pulled away from the subject and upward to the roof and beyond. The photograph has been converted to a black and white probably because the color in the eves was distracting from the white wall.
I applaud the photographer for experimenting with this image but I might suggest that the material they had to work with was not conducive to a strong image. I also think that a little work needs to be done with the contract and curves on the computer. The image as presented appears to be a little muddy and soft.
