Toni Infante analysis #2

 

Composition

Another good example of how to make a vertical composition that is not completely front and centre. We can see some great layouts going on here. Here we see nice leading lines in the forms of the legs leading and pointing us upwards towards the faces of the figures which are close in proximity to the sun which creates the highest point of contrast. We can think of this as our vanishing point as it drives our eye towards it and the perspective seems to be flowing in that direction. 

Outside of that we see that all of the 3 other characters are all framed by the two characters on either side of the image. They both extend past the page giving the image a feeling of existing off the page and the figures are able to be arranged in a back and forth motion as they go up the imager getting closer to the sun. We see that all the leading lines in the structure in the background are pointing us in the same direction and the clouds as well as the birds in the sky are all dancing around the same elements of the picture driving out attention towards the figures. 

I also like this use of foreground element in the use of the platform they are standing on which makes us feel like something is coming out closer towards us.
