As a novice when it comes to shooting color, I like this picture because the color is used sparingly. After a quarter century of just shooting without too much thought, this additional element (color) is challenging my last couple of brain cells. Normally I would have been pleased with all the rectangles and triangles in this picture, but the yellow helmet has added a focal point which wouldn’t have existed in black & white, and I guess it might even be…better? Ah, such confusion this has wrought on my soul…
