Formal Critique

Upon a field of gloomy rigid sticks and grass stands a man wearing a tuxedo who appears to be walking through a line of malevolent fire while tears run down his back. The man is centered in the middle of the picture and seems to be darker than the light smoke from the fire that frames his upper body. In my opinion, this man feels dejected and depressed. The tears are representing all the things in his life that are making him weak and distraught. The fire seems to be the solution that will dry the tears and be rid his misery. This photograph is beautiful and astounding because it depicts the grief that one person can feel and is also a photograph of many possibilities.
