Breakfast Dish
Opinion
I absolutely love the photo because it captures her emotions. You can tell that she is excited for what is yet to come and deeply thinking about her new love. At the same time though she looks mischievous like she's planning how to reel in the rich guys since she plays the part of a golddigger. The props and the way the picture was set up just draws you into the picture. Also the lighting is great on her face coming in from the side and the black and white contrast is amazing as well. This era is one that i really love and this photo makes me want to go out and watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's". There is nothing that I could do to make this picture better...I think he did a great job at taking this and capturing the scene.
