First of i really like the composition of this photo. I think the pose of Susan is very unusual but interesting. It sort of suggests a very sophisticated and elegant sort of class in a way and this also reflected in her colours. Her jacket is a very saturated and dark purple which symbolises wealth and her overall appearance in this piece is very crisp and makes her clearly the focus.
However she divides the photo diagonally in half with her posture and also guides the eye up the top of the image. you see the saturation of her colours and also the contrast of the silhouette and the background near her feet. As you guide your way up, you see the explosion of yellows and green in the background. It's strange because the yellows take up slightly more space than the purple does but because it's so blurred and dispersed, it becomes alot more subtle and submissive.
Steven Miesel - unititled
In this photo, i found that all the colours were fairly balanced but the overall feel of the photo was fairly cool due to the slightly dominant blues and whites.
Although blue is a very dominant colour and theres alot of it in the photo, it's pushed back in quite a literal sense. The two figures also block some of the blue walls which makes their apprearence less dominant. On top of that, the red chairs and yellow/green table sit almost undisturbed from the rest. You can see the entire object and it's colour without much getting the way of it, so their presence becomes more prominent.
Skoglund - Fox games
I found this image and thought it was quite striking and relates back to the post about sin city and the dominance of colours, although this doesn't involve any other colours. However the use of red portrays a various number of meanings. For one there's a literal resemblance as foxes are a similar colour. Also they give a sense of danger as they're in large numbers and also in a place where they don't usually appear. Lastly the use of red is very dynamic and shows how active they are compared to their dull environment.
