1. The background of
the green grass
connotes peace
and tranquillity, and
highlights that the
picture is taken in
the outdoors, at
one with nature.
The light emphasises
that the picture is
taken during the day
time and it also
contrasts with the cats
eyes making them
seem bright and
luminous.
Cats usually connote
household, loved
pets, which along with
the tranquillity of the
nature in the
background, highlights
that the image is a
peaceful, passive
picture. The cat in this
image looks alert and
aware, as it is facing
straight at the camera
and the eyes look as if
they are looking directly
at the person viewing
the picture.
The close up allows the
viewer to see all the
little details on the cat
e.g. stripes & whiskers.
This extra detail makes
the image more
appealing and
captivating.
