Title: Hippopotamus, Hippopotamus
amphibious 2001
I choose this image out of all of the images we saw because, this picture drew my attention right away. My eyes were drawn to the texture in the image, as well as the sepia colors. I thought photographing an animal in the way that this artist did was amazing. The angle at which the artist got the hippopotamus entering the water was such a way that I could not see much of the animals features, but yet I knew right away that it was a hippo. The artist gives the viewer just enough detail and just enough information. I was also drawn to the reflection in the water and the ripples of the water next to the ripples in the skin of the hippopotamus. The artist managed to get a lot of textures, yet did not make it too overwhelming.
I was intrigued by how the artist drew my eye in by the spine of the Hippo. By centering the spine in the image my eye followed it all the way up the animal and up the image, by doing this it allowed me to have a focal point and then I was able to look at the rest of the details in the image.
Overall, I really liked this image because it was a picture of animal, taken in a way I have never seen before, it was something new and visually stimulating to me.
