This image creates a feeling of heart wrench from just looking at it. Then just by zooming in on one part of the image the picture is vastly changed.  The reason I zoomed in on the eye with the tear is because this was the main reason I was drawn to this image. The image is powerful with the way that the woman is wiping her eye and all of the different characteristics created the intensity of this picture. By zooming in the picture is changed from a CU to an XCU, which just adds intensity on the eye.  In the original image the face is a circle, which shows innocence, but in the second image you cannot see the face only the eye, but this too is circular so it still lets out the feeling of innocence. In both images there are tears falling down the women’s eyes, which cause a visual movement within the frame. In neither of these images is there text but in both of the images there is subtext. The subtext is that the woman is upset about something and the tears she is wiping away and the sad look on her face created this. The images are didactic in the way that the audience is basically shown that the woman is upset and that there is no way of looking at the image in any other way. All of these different characteristics that the images have alike have created an image that pulls at the heart and makes the audience wonder what has made the women upset. By zooming in on just the eye the contrast between this image and the first image is the fact that there is no where else to look but the tears streaming out of the eye which causes an even more heart wrenching response from the images.
