Alin Ciortea: Basement Child



I love this picture because of the level that this picture is taken from and also the depth of field that this picture displays. The photographer was at the same level of the child when taking this picture, thus making it easier to focus in on the main subject of the picture. Most parts of the picture are not in focus due to the fact that the aperture setting was probably low enough to solely focus on the little boy. Also, the picture displays what seems to be an endless sidewalk, making the viewer feel like he or she can almost jump into the picture. Also, there exists a distinct diagonal line created by the wall of the building on the right side above the boy's head. The lines on the sidewalk that are in focus eventually fade to a blur, making the sidewalk look very smooth in the distance.
