Found Image V

This is a photo from LIFE magazine of the actress Ingrid Bergman. The celebrity aside, the composition in this piece is organized beautifully. The female figure in the front is more in focus than the three women in the middle ground. Contrast is created between the upclose figure's white shirt and the dark dresses of the figures behind her. In this image the three layers of fore ground, middle ground, and background are all visible. The opposition of the subjects' gazes creates different directional lines as well.
