Le Grand Saut by Elliot Erwitt


Elliot Erwitt's Le Grand Saut captures a moment in time really well. The black figures really stand out against the grey sky. The leaping of the central figure captures movement well. The Eiffel tower balances the background opposite to the dark grey sky. The black building however feels cut off and probably would do better to be cropped out. The couple embracing each other can be perceived as being further away because they are smaller. The blacks stand out stunningly even with the use of black and white.
