Description:
This picture shows a broken mirror laying on the ground, reflecting the leaves above it. The cracks of the mirror are in focus while the leaves are blurred and out of focus. On the left side of the picture, you can see the edge of a frame that is also on the ground. The mirror and frame are not lined up; they are positioned at different angles. There is only color in the mirror while everything outside the mirror is black and white.
Why is this image successful?:
This image is successful because the mirror pops out of the image, but it makes you think about what is inside it because the reflection is blurred. The black and white background also looks interesting because at first glance, you might notice that there is grass, but then you notice that the contrast is a lot higher than normal grass would be. The frame and mirror no lining up brings more dynamics to the picture.
