Effective Image

 
This image radiates loneliness it is a large shot. There are many elements that connote this feeling for example:

• The railway track looks desolate and gives off the idea that a train hasn't been along it for a while. This connotes the idea of an empty town maybe in the middle of no where that no goes to. 

• The sign post in distance reads 20 assuming they mean miles that adds to the ghost town feeling. A 20 mile stretch of train track with no stations to cut into that stretch makes you wonder what is in the sorounding woody area.

• In the distance you can see a person and a dog walking down the track.          (although the direction is not that clear it looks as though they are facing away  from the camera). Because they are facing away from the camera it makes the people look alone and distant. Also because the person is with a dog which is sometimes known as mans best friend which again shows loneliness and makes you think perhaps that dog is all that person has for company.

• The light  reflections on the tracks shows that it is probably early morning.

  1. Well done Ava. Excellent analysis with some well developed and justified connotations from the image.

    ebi you mention the early morning light, could you have also discussed the colours and how they influence the mood?
