image essay #9...area of focus
This photograph caught my attention because of its ares of focus. Obviously, the main component is this composition is the horse and jockey that are winning the race. Even though there are other horses and jockeys running in the background, when you look at them it just causes you to look at what's in focus and at the main point of interest. I also am very drawn to the amount of movement that is captured in the horses feet. I love how the picture is caught mid-frame and the dirt is sopped in time, hanging in the air. The main horse and rider also show a lot of emotion because they are so much more detailed because they are what is in focus. The jockey is obviously thrilled of his victory and is celebrating by throwing his arm in the air. Meanwhile you can obviously see the effort and hard work coming from the horse. This photograph captures the feeling of being there, and most of that is captured in the area of focus.
