When looking at this picture the first thing which came in to my mind was the element of growing. Aspects of this image show growth through the fact that a baby is wearing a pair of grown woman shoes. The fact that a baby has been used which we know from the nappy, reinforces the idea of growth because the baby is the youngest form of life therefore has many years to experiment. This is why I think the baby has been out there wearing those shoes to give a sense of still being childish and not being fully grown as a man or woman yet. When looking at a picture with the element of growing, you would expect to see the colour green somewhere in the picture but this image does not use it at all but still portrays the word growing in my eyes, which is why the colour green is used for the word growing in my colour palette. Since we do not know if it is a boy or girl in the shoes we cannot be stereotypical and say it's a girl straight away due to just the fact that the shoes are woman shoes. The image uses very light toned colours for example the Pink shoes. The shoes give a sense of sensitivity and emotion in the image making us feel like the baby is going through different emotions through his life and does not know what he wants yet, which could be a reason of why the baby is in the grown woman's shoes. The image is taken with a close up shot focusing on the baby's lower body and shoes rather than the background. The background is also very simplistic due to the fact that there is nothing going on and you can't see ahead of you with just a rocky surface on the floor which could suggest that when your growing you don't know what is ahead of you in your future and  when your going to stop growing. The background can also be looking empty to put more emphasis and focus on the baby and the shoes.
