The Yellow Wallpaper

The main point of this piece is to show how the girl within the painting appears trapped. Like the girl within the story, she would always see a girl trapped within the wallpaper, trying to get out. In reality, she saw that girl as herself, because she was free during the day when her husband was gone, but trapped at night when he was there. In this photo, you can really see the girl in the painting blend in almost and you mainly know that it is a person becuase of the eyes. I color balanced the photo to an extreme yellow and converted most of the colors within it to yellow. But i also left some colors so the viewer could still grasp the basic shape of a person.
