Photo by : Cecil Beaton

Assignment : pick another image from a book from the library and critique using elements of photography discussed.

This photo catches my eye because of the high value contrast in it.  It makes you happy and feel warm like your outside in the sunlight.  The lighting in this picture is my favorite.  It is clearly coming from behind her, but you cant actually see the source of the light.  It makes you wonder.  The leaves in the upper right hand corner make the picture have a better composition than if it was simply marilyn and the bird.
