Metal siding is common in Valparaiso, Chile's primary port city. A rusty building, at first blush, may not seem to be a vividly colored subject, but it is incongruous, and it does seem to offer a neutral field for color contrast. And that is why the colors works so well together in this image. The more you look at the rust, the more the variation of color within the rust becomes evident. The rust itself ranges from brown to red, with even some yellow thrown in. Then superimpose an array of casually arranged laundry upon this rusty facade -- red, yellow, blue, purple, and white -- plus a variety of window shades, a few plants and other window decorations, and pretty soon the picture is a vividly swirling mass of colors competing for attention. I noticed relatively few of these colorful details as I made this picture out of the window of a restaurant on top of one of Valparaiso's famous hills. It was a very cloudy morning, the light was flat, and I was just hoping I would somehow find some colors that worked together on this rusting building just across the way. When I reviewed this picture on my liquid crystal display panel, I knew I what I had for the first time.
