Taste Test

Here are the parents of the little girl in the purple coat. They are tasting some of the cheeses and trying to make a decision about which ones they like. I love how the theme of the image is both ambiguous and humorous. The couple should be discussing the taste of each cheese they are sampling, but instead, it appears that the husband on the left is arguing with his wife (his expression seems serious and almost confrontational). Then we have the man behind the counter who seems to be trying to stop the husband from engaging in an argument with his partner. The humour in the image is demonstrated by the wife. All she can think about is the amazing taste of the cheese she is sampling. She is completely oblivious to both her husband and the cheese man.

 

I am drawn to the composition of this image. Notice the triangle created by the three people. This helps keep our eyes moving around the image so we can build on the storyline developing before us.
