This image has a good contrast to it and is a good example of the thing itself. There is also a certain degree to which this image is also an image involving frame. The skirt just barely reaches and hugs the frame. I also like the use of shadow and the attention drawn specifically to the skirt, the shows and the top of the stockings, and how it is done in very different ways, and tones. There is no uniform tone in the image. The background does not take away from or distract from the thing itself. There is also special attention paid to detail. The thing itself and detail play into each other very well. This image reminds me of a photo in the exhibit “After the Gold Rush” called “Walking Gun”, that shows the armed and dangerous woman, which is shown in a slightly different way in terms of content, but the form has similarities, starting with the heels. In “Walking Gun” there is a literal weapon, but this weapon is more symbolic, which I find successful in this image.
