The above is an image of two females sitting on their porch. Both women are behind a screen looking away from the camera. The photographer creates a sense of depth through the placement of the girl directly behind a slit in the screen - the contrast between the figure inside of the cut region and outside of the cut region show the distinct pattern that the fence makes which emphasizes its placement as a element of the foreground.
The two bodies that are vertically dominant are mirrored by the post of the fence that creates a third vertical line. The color of the post is similar in appearance to the color of the right female's shirt which draws the two elements together. The figure on the left it wearing a patterned shirt that blends into the canvas - however the vertical cut in the screen allows her to not get lost in the composition.
I really liked how the image seemed to capture an everyday scene. The figures look peaceful and candid in a believable setting.
