I took this image from Duane Michals' website. My inspiration for this image came from another image I found of his, showing a man with low saturation blowing out coloured flowers out of his mouth, created on Photoshop. I thought this was a good idea so I transfered another image from Michals' website of an image with a similar look to it and re created it. I like this one because of the skeleton in the background, and with using a flower brush, it automactically creates a contrast in the image. This image is succesful to me because the way ive positioned the flowers around the mans body from the skeleton, and kept the colour scheme matched. But mostly because I think theres a great message in this image, with the skeleton being normally portrayed as a scary, bad thing. But by adding flowers coming from the skeleton, surrounding the man, it no longer portrays the skeleton to be evil or scary, but instead, a nice, almost friendly thing. Whereas before in Duane Michals image, the image was plain with just the skeleton and the man, playing with your mind a little as it made you wonder why the skeleton was placed behind the man and what effect it nwas having on him due to the mans facial expression.
