My impression of the photo is that Skye is a bird with quite a character and that he looks puffed up and proud, and a bit irritated. I notice the bright color of his feathers first because they stand out against the blank wall. I am affected by Skye's beauty, it makes me look in admiration.In front of me is a brightly colored teal bird on it's masters' hand. He has a white head with blue markings by his beak and black and white markings on his wings. The bird has his head back and his chest puffed out with an irritated look on his face. There is a white wall in the background.
Skye is perched on a hand in the center of the photo.You can see the outline of the bird easily because of the plain wall behind him. The most colorful object is the subject, making it stand out.
The story of Skye: My friend says the photo shows exactly the attitude her bird has always had. He is quite old, about 10 years or so, and he makes this face a lot when you play with him. noun to describe the photo: personality.
This photo connects with Kathe Kollowitz's work in that it shows how the subject is feeling.
