Image Essay #9

This image is a perfect example of value because it has so many different shades of black, white and gray. The source of light in the image creates shadows which are darker in value than the surface on which they are seen, which has different values of its own [the darker gray waves of sand in the light gray sand]. The subjects of the image, the ducks, demonstrate a lot of value as their colors range from pure white to pure black in some spots. Many values in between pure black and pure white are shown as well on the subjects, so even in the subjects alone, a wide range of value is shown. The sky also shows a wide range of values as it varies from light gray at the bottom to almost pure black at the top, with lighter shades of gray in between on the clouds. Overall, this work has a very wide variety of values.
