Henri Cartier Bresson

I chose this photo because I love how it made me feel when I first saw it. It looks like a place untouched by humankind then there is this old canoe that has become taken over by the nature around, like nature is taking back its "space". This photo evokes a lot of emotion. I love how the surrounding rock walls almost frame the canoe.
I like this photo because it confuses me. The scene seems like a happy scene but it is almost eerie to look at. At first glance it looks like a sailor on a nice sunny day taking a nap but as I looked at the photo closer I noticed the strange figure in the top left corner and what looks like almost a fog in front of the man. This photo left me wanting to know more about what was going on in the photograph. I think there is great contrast between the nice bright sky and the dark pillar in the back.
