Beaver: Picture I Like

I like this picture because the pink smoke reminds me of cotton candy but at the same time the photo is mysterious. When I saw this picture, taken by Brandon Wolfel, I automatically became curious which made me look further into the picture. The picture is ironic because umbrellas are used to keep things from getting under it, but in this picture thats exactly what's happening. I also like how the smoke trails off into the background leaving a trail which adds to the ''mysterioussness''. The main element of design in this picture is emphasis. The fact that he put the emphasis on the smoke and not the person makes it seem like the smoke is telling a story in away. If you follow the trail of smoke, it first goes towards the light in the photo and then swerves away from it and goes into the forest/woods behind it. The texture of this photo is very soft, which contrasts with the meaning. Another thing that adds to the meaning is that the girl in the picture literally has her head in the clouds. She's in a space away from the rest of the world, which is shown through the colors.
