I took this photo from one of the art museums in Savannah, Georgia, in 2017. This piece of artwork just made me feel special because without inspecting it closely, you won’t find out the little nuances and details in the work. This piece was created by sand and a model of a person who works at the farm. The original photo did not look like this; it did not have enough shadow on the picture and the colors of the photo were not bright or obvious enough to pick up the detail that is a person’s imprint on the sand due to work. I purposely add more light on the table and more shadow on the background in order to emphasize the person’s imprint. With this change, the atmosphere becomes different; it makes viewers more focused on this piece of artwork. In addition, it also has an effect similar to that of a performer on a stage, as if this whole table is the stage for this worker to put his/her imprint on wherever he/she decides to go. In my opinion, the contrast between the color brightness can cause a direct vision conflict. When I was there, the person was small enough to notice what was that. I believe that the artwork expresses the message to viewers that as long as you work hard enough, you will leave an imprint anywhere you want.
This picture looks very layered, the distribution of colors makes certain parts can be noticed at a glance, you make good use of the visual focus to make this picture more prominent, which is certainly a very good retouch.
I think your editing really emphasized the painting itself which makes the audience realize what’s truly important. I agree with the way you interpreted this art because the piece looks like the person did a lot of hard work in order to get to that point where people could see their efforts. Very cool picture!
I like your photos. Your editing makes this one better convey the story that this piece brings to life. I think the image shows me what it is trying to say behind the scenes and this piece is interesting.
