Emotional Response (how it makes you feel): This image makes me think, i cant quite understand what is going on in this image and what the main focus or ideology behind the photo. The facial expression of the male figure draws you in, creating mystery. It looks as if he is in deep thought which makes me feel confused also makes me wonder what he is intently thinking about.
Technical: The image is internally framed creating a inter structure. This use of perspective looking into the image is created by the use of different dimensional layers to create a tunneling effect. This created depth withing the image making it easy to follow with your eyes starting from the bottom at working your way up and through with your eyes. The geometric lines give the image a rigid structural form creating a visual rectangle picture. When looking at the image you feel as I have you are inside a cuboid shape looking outwards. The image makes you feel like you are inside of it encapsulating your visual senses.
Visual: The main color pallet with in the image is one of dark tonal greens and blues. Also there are splashes of color are to off set the viewers focus , create intrigue and secondary focal points through color in the image. The main focal point of the image is the man and his facial expression and postural positioning. This is the largest object within the image and the furthest forward in relation to all other objects this creates a main focal point, drawing the viewer in and making them ask questions about the image in there heads.
Conceptual: I feel like the background is meant to mirror what he is actually thinking/ what is going on in his head. I feel like it is meant to mirror mental confusion or chaos. His brain trying to cope with the ever changing environment which is portrayed behind him. His facial expression is stark and ghost like perhaps compensating for what is going on inside, his mind is busy and always occupied by individual thoughts flying by. These individual thoughts migrating through his brain could be represented by the trains coming in and out of the station on there different arrival and departure times.
Contextual : It seams to be that this old man has something to do with the train station ether he used to be a diver or travel and commute every day. I feel that he may have been a train driver when he was younger and has retired now. He is wearing a suit which means he has to be going something rather formal. My ideal is that he is saying goodbye to every one and that in the photo he is reflecting on the time he had as driver and how overwhelming all of this is now that he doesn't have that job anymore
