Figure-ground
Tuesday Mar 25, 2008
Well, this one may not be everyone's cup o' tea, but then again, it's not a photo of a cup o' tea. It's a bit busy but I like it for the sort of figure-ground reversal that the flowers create. Up in the trees they're a nice bright white against a darker background. Then at the bottom of the photo the shadows create a dark figure against the light concrete. In neither half can you really tell what is the figure and what is the ground. Kind of nerdy assessment here...
