Photography - Visual SMS

​‌      A picture that is professionally shot will convey a message or concept. Let the stated maxim be put to test. The picture in the figure 1. is taken as test image. In that image one can infer following things: "a man", "sitting posture" and "a park or woods or forest". Shirt, pant and body shape suggests the subject should be a man. The male subject's head is turned right and upper body  is blurred (i.e. not clearly visible). The sitting on the ground with stretched legs, bare feet and upper body supported by hands evokes a "relaxed" emotion in viewers' mind. Looking at the greenery behind the man, one can assume the location as forest or wood. But common sense tells us a commoner will not sit casually in a forest. So, the location must be a park only.
