Diners, Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Becket, Massachusetts, 2011

The evening light isolates a pair of diners seated at the edge of the festival’s huge tent just prior to a dance performance. They seem to be alone, although hundreds of others dine in the shadows just beyond them. The play of light and shadow here creates a mood of relaxation and utter privacy.

Thanks Tim -- I had noticed contrast in color temperatures before, but they do make quite a difference. Contrasts can always command and direct the eyes of viewers.

I think what get me about this is use of warm and cool colors as a device to control the eye of the viewer. The tent and the table clothes are a cool blue - while the people are a warm yellow.
