This photograph really interests me because it seems like the women in the photo were not ready, and slightly awkward, but it was thought out in the photographer's mind, which makes me think differently from it being just a snapshot. what makes me think it was thought out, is how he chose his subjects, and their placement in the frame. they are the only faces you can see clearly, they are both wearing black, and the background is lighter, which makes them stand out. everything around them is blurred, but the two women are the most in focus.

 I chose this photograph because i really like to be experimental with my photography. i like the degree of which Sommer chose to blur the figure, because you can still see that the subject is of a figure, but the lines become soft, and the tones turn into shapes.

This photograph caught my eye because of the figures. i like that the observer can see two different views of the couple. the plates and cups on the table contrast with the dark table, and the clothes theyre wearing. i think that it keeps the bottom of the photograph balanced, so that its not too dark.
