TECHNICAL: the front of the image is in focus however the back of the image is slightly blurred and out of focus meaning that the reef is only supposed to catch our attention.
VISUAL: In the image you can see a man holding a reef which bears the colours of red and white and green, in the background you can see an elderly person wrapped in a checked blanket bearing the same colours as the reef.
CONTEXTUAL: This image is taken back in 2013, for the Liberation day in Jersey, where they celebrated 69 years since being liberated from the germans/nazis. The laying of reefs are an important part in the ceremony.
CONCEPTUAL: The choice of colours in the image could be seen as significant because the flag of jersey consists of red and white therefore having the same colours are being used helps remember ordeal.
