I took this image with my telephoto lens at 205mm, the bright orange caught my eye. The bright blue of the bag seems to have the same brightness as the orange but the two alone have a ratio of 1:1 proportion, I felt the rest of the frame contains a lot of other occurences of blue which enhance the ration nearer 1;2. I have cropped the image slightly as red vertical stripes could be seen to the left of the man which took the eye away from the intended subject, removing this bold red returns the attention to the subject. I like the way the image takes the eye in the direction the man is walking giving the image some interest and balance.
