Hello from the critique club
A mediocre image that meets the challenge at a basic level
This is really quite a confusing image that does not have a strong focal point. The main characters are the two women in the foreground who both have their backs towards us, neither of whom have been caught at a very flattering moment for them especially the lady on the right. The only person whose face we do get to see in full profile is the lady in red who is actively distracted, probably, by her mobile device, she is not engaged with her surroundings. The most dominant element is the gent in the background in the strongly coloured red jumper, your eyes are constantly drawn to him but again he is not of this scene in any constructive way. In the meantime all of this has a dominant foreground white and gold post that does nothing positive to the overall construct.
I rather feel that you have taken too literally the ‘snapshot’ part of the description as opposed to anything that Manet would have been likely to paint. I’m sorry Ryan but I can’t see anything in this he would have been inspired to commit to canvas. |
