The Red Watering Can (zoom in for a closer look)

            Color in a photograph is a powerful element and can help make an image work, or it can be a distraction taking the viewer's eye away from the primary subject.  I've posted these two images to illustrate the power of color, and how it can, and will pull the viewer's eye into the scene. You will notice deeper in the background of the table and chairs shot a car across the street. From what I can determine, it looks like an exotic and very expensive sports car, possibly a McLaren, with a typical starting price of a quarter million dollars!  You will see that the owner put a peacock wrap on it and the question to me remains, why?  The photos were both taken in the somewhat upscale village of Rhinebeck, NY, a nice place to visit BTW, if you happen to be in the area of this part of upstate NY.
