As a single image i think that the first one is really nice, has really bright colours and you can see all the detail in the mans face. However what i think really makes these too stand out is that second image placed next to it with the image in the book he is holding. i think it has a weird feel to it, like time has past but the man hasn't changed. Because surly the image would have had to been sent to the printers etc? maybe he got the same man to pose again exactly the same way. I also try and pick out differences and similarity's when looking at the too. Has a lot of questions.

what i love most about this image is that its said to be the inspiration behind Alice in wonderland what is one of my all time favourite stories. I really like the way that the model seems to have a lot of attitude in her pose, the way she is staring straight down the lens at the viewer with her hand on her hip. What i also really find stunning is the way that her hair is intertwined with the leaves on the tree behind her and you cant really tell were the hair stops and the vines begin.

one of my main draws to this image is the reasoning. I want to know why he is holding flowers like this? maybe hes a dancer? I also think that this gives a soft feel to the man in the image gives it a feminine touch. Maybe to indicate his feelings or sexuality? I really would like to know. its just not something you really see all the time, normally its females covered in flowers (or maybe this is a girl but i think its a boy)
