2. Form
The shape of the boy appears lean and fragile as he lengthens his body in preparation for his landing. The positioning of the silhouetted figure forms a line which draws diagonally into the centre of the image, leading the viewer’s eye to the surface of the water where they discover another person. The subject matter is presented with a limited range of colour – the natural lighting allows mainly subtle shades of blue and yellow grounded by strong blacks which form the outer edge and focal point of the frame. This allows a strong contrast and emphasises the main subject in that the black figure stands out against the light background.
