Closing Ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics

Observations:

• very stand-out colors
• women in background look like they are cheering and dancing
• the two men in blue look to be on stilted pogo sticks
• the two men are balancing themselves
• the two me are also wearing helmets
• there are many women in the background

Inferences:

• they picked two very contrasting colors to make the two men in blue stand out
• the cheering and dancing women show how they wanted the closing ceremonies to be fun and cheerful
• the helmets imply the two men could do something potentially dangerous
• because they are balancing themselves, it shows that Beijing wanted to do something very difficult and impressive to end a great Olympics
• because of the mass amount of people, they wanted the Olympics to be remembered for a long time by the huge production they put on

From first glance, this picture really stood out to me. The photographer did a great job when he took the picture with the bright yellow background and the dark blue front. That combination of color would catch any ones attention right away. The cheering and dancing women in the back really set the joyous mood for the whole scene, and the two men balancing themselves as they bounce in the air show how Beijing wanted to finish the Olympics with a masterful performance.
Seeing the picture full of people shows the amount of time and effort they put into making a great closing ceremony. This picture truly captures a part of this great performance.
