This picture was taken from the Shutter Sisters photoblog. I choose this one because today I was just thinking of how beautiful the trees are in autumn. This picture gives a good sense of autumn: yellow leaves on the trees, brown leaves on the ground, and a sense of gloominess. This picture fits into Szarkowski's category of framing. You have trees framing both sides of the picture. There really isn't a "thing itself" in this picture, there is a lot of detail though. For example, both people walking in the picture have on black jackets. You can also see the difference in the color of the leaves still on the tree, compared to the brown leaves that have fallen off the tree. The two people walking in the picture are kind of mysterious. We can't see their faces from behind cannot , so it leaves it up to the viewer to determine the relationship between the two. Personally, I think they are two friends maybe walking back to their house after class or something. Also, the road they are traveling on looks abandoned, but it does not look like the road is blocked off. So why is the road so deserted? This picture leaves lots of room for viewers to make up their own story about the picture.
