Description

Subject Matter:

In this photograph of Atlanta's skyline the tops of buildings rise in the far background. The view is framed by a long hill crest, which cuts across the foreground parallel to the lower edge of the image, creating a low horizon line. A shirtless man sits on the hill with his back turned as he looks beyond the frame of the photograph to the left.

Physical Description:

In the foreground of the photograph, a man sits atop a hill facing away from the camera towards a downtown skyline.
