Color writing assignment
William Eggleston- Yellow Flowers
This photograph is of a field of bright flowers. The flowers are a really vibrant yellow with an orangeish tint and with patches of lavender flowers speckled here and there throughout it. The little bit of the sky that shows is a very bright blue. The flowers look very yellow in the front of the picture, but as it goes back and where the sky connects, they look more orange. I would describe it as a sort of macaroni and cheese color, since it's still yellow but adds orange in there too. These colors make the picture very warm looking and really portrays a sunny and cheerful outlook.
The flowers work woth other elements of the picture because since blue and orange are complementary colors, they set each other off really well, which makes the photograph stand out that much more. Also, even though the lavender flowers are lighter they pop out of the yellow/orange really well. The lavender flowers are not the majority of the picture by far however, I think because of the contrast between them and the other flowers, they draw your eye to them for that reason. They are different so they stand out in the picture despite their lighter color compared to the bright blue and vivid yellow/orange ther flowers. Overall, the colors in the picture set each other off really well and makes the photograph stand out. The photograph seems to have been taken in the daytime when it was very sunny out. This element of the picture, lighting, also has a big factor because it makes it so you can very clearly see the colors and shows you just how vibrant and bright they are.
If the colors were changed in the picure, then I don't think that the picture would be nearly what it is now, in quality. If it were a black and white picute, it definatly wouldn't be as interesting to look at. What makes this photograph so interesting and stands out is its bright colors. Plus since the colors go together so well and complement one another, if you were to change them, then they wouldn't work as well together and help eachother stand out while standing out on their own. What draws your eye in is the color scheme now, so you would make it less interesting if you changed that. Also, it would loose the mood that the picture conveys now, of warmth and cheerfulness, and so I don't think the picture would be as strong. The photograph works really well just as it is now and the colors stand out so well, that to change them would make the picture loose it's uniqueness.
