I get that broken glass can be symbolic with sadness, but the problem the image has is that the picture does not have anything else *within* the shot for the viewer to connect it to sadness. For example, had there been a broken doll, a faded & torn picture of 1/2 a happy couple, or a official document that states 'Notice of Forclosure" those would have been the additional element needed to strengthen a connection to sadness. As it is now, the audience has nothing to go on except to be told it is Smashed Hopes by the title. The title should be the cherry on the top not the element that carries the whole shot - show don't tell would make this image a whole lot stronger. The other suggestion is that don't be afraid to show your audience a larger picture - you want to show off details and get your audience drawn into the scene you are presenting to us. (not voting) |
