This image is a high visual intensity for the building’s contrast against the snow covered plain. The white colors of the buildings has also contrasted against the round tops which are darker colors. The sky shows a intensity with the lighter colors starting from the horizon to darker colors higher up in the sky. The felling I get from this picture is isolation based upon that this church sits in the middle of a snow covered plain in Russia. The eye captures this building in the middle of nowhere and draws attention. The shadow of the photographer also creates depth with shadow forming fore and mid ground and the building creates the background. Photographer is William Craft Brumfield. http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/brum/item/bru2000000054/
Low visual intensity for the reason on the dull colors and the lack of contrast which creates a same, repetitive pattern within the image. The feeling I get from this image is that it is setting making it simple and the depth of field is present but it is simple and repetitive. http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/fsa.8c52635/.
