Stars 2

There are three main things going on in the photo. First, in the foreground you have some pillars that do not have any lights on them. In the middle of the photo, almost all of the pillars have lights on them. Then in the foreground, there is a bright city skyline which almost dominates the brightness of the lights on the pillars. However, it is known from the title of the piece that the focus should be about the 'stars' on the pillars. This then tends to make you think about this piece as if it were outer space. The dark sky being the water, with the stars sparkled around the sky, and then having Earth in the background of the photo, bright and vibrant. I do not think i would have ever thought of this connection without the help of the title.
