Looking From Behind, With Feeling

My favorite is Photo 2.

Photo 2 is the most interesting to me because it makes me want to know the woman's back story. The picture shows a woman looking towards Jesus's cross. Next to the woman there is a sign that says "Welcome visitors register here," further showing the ambiguity of the photo. This picture makes the audience wonder why the woman is at a church. We are lead to believe that this woman may have sinned and is looking for salvation at a church. This picture holds powerful even when people only see the woman's back. Furthermore, the picture shows symmetry and is visually appealing. The color of the picture also amplifies the mysteriousness of the picture. The cross is placed in the center of the picture and glows making the cross stand out even more. Overall, this picture is beautiful in a mystifying way.
