The words: "De que color es el amor?"A white paper heart
A hand holding the heart
Sepia toned
Ok, first of all, I am so glad I *FINALLY* remembered the website where I found this image. The website is called deviantART, and it is one of my all time favorite websites to look at. This website features photography and art and has some incredible work.
Anyways, back to what I was originally focusing on...
This photo includes the words, "De que color es el amor?" which translates to "What color is love?". I This photo is so simple in composition and color choice. It is sepia toned and therefore monochromatic. I like the contrast between the words "What color is love?" and the fact that the image is sepia toned. I find the handwriting very unique. The words "De" (of) and "Que" (what) are both capitalized but the following words are all in caps. I think this emphasizes the color the artist chose for the image. In our society, red is associated with love; this is why this image appears ironic but visually stimulating.
Monochrome images allow you more control over what is and is not emphasized in a photographic image. It's possible, for instance, that the hand holding this photograph had really colorful (and distracting) nail polish. But in this monochromatic image, the dark nail recedes along with the background colors.
