I'll be honest, I have no idea where this image came from or who took it. I don't even remember where I first saw it but I was able to locate it quickly enough with a simple online search. This shows one of my favorite types of photography. A black and white image with just one item (or one color) showing brightly. I really like that the edge of the umbrella in this photo just barely hides the two faces so it's actually only implied that they're kissing behind it. The red of the umbrella really pops right out of the picture. The horizon lines seem to be straight which help keep your eyes focused on the center on the image. The vibrancy of the umbrella seems to allow me to see the bright colors that would fill the rest of the photo if it was not black and white.
Selective coloring is very popular, and it's something that we'll definitely discuss later on in the semester.
