This picture is a perfect example of an analogous color scheme. Analogous color schemes consist of colors that are next to each other on the color wheel such as green, light green, and yellow or red, orange and yellow. This picture has reds, yellows, and greens. The dominant color is green, the subordinate color is yellow and the accentual color is the reds. 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. 

The area of focus in this picture is Keira Knightley because she is in the foreground and she is perfectly in focus. The background is slightly out of focus because it’s not as important to the picture.
