The photograph captures the different aspects of decay located throughout the photograph which is located on the walls, staircase and the ceiling. The photograph focuses on capturing the detail and the texture of the different elements found within the photograph this can be evidenced on the side of the staircase showing the harsh and rigid texture. The walls mainly focus on capturing the discolour which has clearly changed throughout time, suggesting an old building.

The purpose of the photograph shown above is to capture the decay of the car in foreground whilst capturing the scenery in the background. The car uses two main colour, white and green which provides contrast within the photograph. The photograph mainly captures the rust of the car and the discoloured elements, especially on the side, which shows how the white has discoloured to a more grey colour resulting in a rustic appearance.The photographer has captured the photograph from an angle, showing the car on an angle which has resulting in a more imposing appearance. It also appears the the reason for this is to also include the sky within the photograph, which does give the photograph a dynamic feel. The appearance of the clouds also provide contrasts as the softness contrasts the straw like grass. The positioning of the sun is also located on the left as a shadow has been created, showing a silhouette of the car. This also suggests that the photograph was taken late in the day due to the colour and overall lighting within the photograph. The location in which the photograph has been taken gives a rustic feel to the photograph as the location appears to be abandoned/run down.
