Red and Yellow


















The photo on the left is one of my unused photos taken for the triptych project, whereas the photo on the right was taken by user zahniulli (and can be found at http://www.panoramio.com/photo/55842336.)

Both photos utilize a combination of black and white photography with color photography. My photo utilizes a camera feature to selectively make all but the selected color (with varying thresholds of permitting similar colors), whereas the second photo, based on the ability to pick up both the yellow and brown/black of the sunflower, likely utilizes Photoshop or a similar program.
.
Both photos include multiple objects in color, rather than a single object. My photo includes the two fire alarms (and picks up a poster as well) and sort of pulls the viewer along from the first fire alarm in the foreground, to the next fire alarm in the background, to the poster to the left. Similarly, the sunflower photo catches one's eye with the immediate sunflower and one's eyes wander and notice the other patches of yellow to the left in the background; though we can't exactly tell much about the photos in the back, the color of the immediate sunflower connects to the ones in the back and we can therefore, by this link, assume the other flowers in the back are the same and look similar to this one. The sunflower photo, on a tangent, looks like a sort-of bizarre portrait, with the sunflower "staring" at the viewer and the remaining flowers in the background.
