Late Roses, Josef Sudek, 1959

This photo is supposed to represent the changing of seasons. I feel like this photo leaves you with a calming effect. The black and white makes it classy. From the photo, it looks to be warm inside, but cold on the outside. The light and dark make what this photo is. It is also taken from a different side perspective so its not straight on and boring. The roses almost look set up in the middle, white black and white. I see a lot of groupings of three in this photo. Three roses, three main lines of the window, three trees, tree leaves. Im not sure if this repetition was set up or if that was the beauty this photo was taken in.
