In Annie Liebowitz’s version of the Wizard of Oz, she uses intense colors that create tension within the piece. This picture has tension because of the vibrancy in the colors. Annie Liebowitz did a great job of incorporating Keira Knightley’s hair and dress color with the flowers. Even her skin tone has a sort of yellow tint to it. The picture is also well balanced because none of the colors are too overpowering. They are all complimenting each other in the right way.
