This photograph is a part of her 'Girl Culture' series. When I was looking through the series this photograph immediately caught my eye, especially because of the title. The colors that are used in this photograph are paired together perfectly, and the fact that it's a cloudy day adds to the mood of the photograph. The expression on the girls face also adds to the feeling of the photograph, and the way her arms are placed can give the viewer and audience a better knowledge as to what this girl is going through as she struggles with her weight.

I immediately fell in love with the composition and perspective of this photograph. I love how my eye goes directly to the tree behind the corner of the tennis court. The way that he used the corner of the court to lead your eye into the photograph is amazing. I also really like how the horizontal lines of the net mimic the vertical lines of the fences, and the windows on the houses in the background. The tonal range of this photograph is also beautiful and soft in a way. The lightness of the tones adds a dream-like feeling to this photograph, and the darker portions of the clouds at first gave me the impression of mountains in the distance.

I have always really enjoyed Hiroshi Sugimoto's work, and when I saw this photograph I was instantly in awe. I love how the photograph leads in from white to gray to bring your eye down to the subject. The smooth quality of the tones is beautiful and looks completely unreal. Even though this is a photograph of an exhibit, Sugimoto made this exhibit incredibly serene and when I first viewed this photograph I thought the animals and scenery was entirely real. The way he can mold a subject to be entirely his own is amazing.
