Image Essay #8



This Trinity Blood wallpaper makes good use of value contrast. The black around the image makes it pop out more and makes Esther kneeing besides Abel's coffin the focal point. It keeps the viewer's eye on the center.

Where is Esther is seems to be the lightest area since she is wearing a white dress. The value gets lighter as it gets closer to her. The use of shading makes the flowers, the coffin, and Esther look three-dimensional. The value contrast of the white and grays bring out the folds of Esther's dress. There is also plenty of value contrast in the flowers and on the cross that is on the coffin. It makes it seems like the place is dimly light. Also the use of the black, the white, and the different shades of gray give the image a sad and depressing feel.

The way Esther and the coffin are juxtaposed is also a good use of value contrast, since the coffin is black and Esther's is white, which also helps Esther stick out more.

Esther and the coffin seem to be the foreground for they stick out more, and the flowers are the background for they look kind of blurry.
