Rosenthal was actually one of the photographers that inspired me for my final project this semester. This photograph is one of my favorites from his work. The fogginess and also softness from the out of focus quality of this picture is what intrigues me the most. I love the way the picture fades in from white all the way to the black out of focus plants in the center of the frame. I also like that the picture is cropped in a square format which frames in the subject better. The way the photograph is blurry gives me a feeling of being inside of a dream.

The main aspect of this photograph that really intrigued me was the surrealism that is involved. I love how this photograph was set up to make it look like this man was flying in a hot air balloon in the sky, as he is looking down at the earth. Since the photo is old you can tell that this photograph is staged, especially because of the lighting, but the quality and sharpness of this photo are incredible considering how old it is.

I absolutely love the vantage point of this photograph. I also really love the motion used to show how the crowd of people is moving, and I also really like how the viewpoint of the camera gives the viewer an easier way to view the whole station and all of the people getting off of the trains and boarding them.
