Picture Description


Tentatively, this picture depicts a scene where there are two working people conferring about a certain issue on the monitor screen.

On the whole, I am certainly convinced that they are either in an office or in a room. This can be clearly vindicated, as the room they are in seems to be conducive and tidy. In the background of the picture, I see that the room also has angelic curtains and potted plants. Adding on, the fact that there is also has an exquisite picture behind them, further reinforces my inference.
If I trust my instinct, before this scene is likely to be when both characters are actually working by themselves, without the help from each other. Also, before this scene is likely to be lunchtime, when they actually intended to meet up with each other to review about working issues, which is now, exhibiting in the picture.

Explicitly, I descry a properly dressed male standing up, looking at the screen attentively. While on the other hand, I do also notice a female, who is pointing on the computer screen, and explaining specifically about a certain issue to the male beside her. Possibly, I reckon that the relationship between the both characters can either be a boss and a subordinate relationship or a colleague and colleague relationship. This can be easily supported, when I see the manner in which both characters interact with each other.

Firstly, under my discussion with the man. Briefly, he is wearing a dark shirt and pants. He is being accompanied with a strong sense of style and vigour. This can be proved from the way he cast. From how the picture portrays itself, the man is gazing at the computer screen seriously, while listening attentively to his partner. If I am not mistaken, he may be feeling quite bored or tired, from the facial expression he gives. I may refer him as conscientious worker. The fact that he takes the time to ask questions to his partner, perhaps on computer and technology issues. This easily means that he is aiming at improving himself. Adding on, he may also be discussing about work issues, and for this factor, he may be referred as a companionable and cooperative person.

Allow me to move on with the woman beside the man. Tentatively, I can see that her hair is tied neatly with a ponytail. Adding on, she is wearing a blue coat over a yellow outfit. A necklace is also hung over her neck. From her dressing style, she seems to possess a strong sense of femininity. I can see that she is either teaching or guiding the man beside her, perhaps on work issues. If I am not mistaken, she must be a leader or a manager of the group or company. This can be supported from her facial expression. Firstly, I can see that she is very blithe and satisfied to be asked with questions from her companions. Secondly, the fact that she possesses a sense of leadership and professionalism, further supports my inference. I do believe that she can be a favorable companion or an efficient leader. This is supported from the fashion she renders her work. Her table is not untidy, and she treats the people around her in a very hospitable and warm manner. The crux of my entire inference, is essentially from her smile, revealed on her facial expression.

Likely, after this scene, both characters will be back to their work. This may also be a scene where both characters clear their doubts. So after this scene can be a meeting or a presentation of their own conception to a large group of people.

I believe that there are a few main themes in this picture.

Firstly, this picture can be taken for business issues. Possibly, the company is promoting on their job recruitment. In this picture, it shows two characters working together harmoniously. Therefore, this picture is basically taken to briefly portray the course of working in the company itself. That being said, this picture can also be taken for advertising the company’s name. In today’s society, we see that reputation and acceptance, plays very much importance to business. This picture is essentially useful for building up contacts between business partners, as it shows the professionalism between the workers themselves.

Secondly, this picture can also be taken for acknowledgement purposes. We see that at the end of the year, most companies will actually post pictures to acknowledge the efforts of their workers. Subsequently, this picture can be taken to reflect the working process of the workers. In this way, it creates a platform for workers to strive harder while working.

Fundamentally, we see that the gist of the picture is to show us what exactly is the true spirit of teamwork. The picture portrays a sense of teamwork between the two characters. Teamwork, as defined by the dictionary, is cooperative or coordinated effort on the part of a group of persons acting together as a team or in the interests of a common cause. We see that teamwork is not only significant in school, but after we advance to the society itself, teamwork plays an essential role for one to be promoted to a higher rank or to get an increment in pay. Quintessentially, we see how weighty teamwork is.

However, I believe that the true teamwork is really absent in our society today. We see that innumerable conflicts and discrimination constantly bound our society. While we see that we can really choose who we want to work with when we are in tertiary education, we cannot achieve the same when we come to the society, and ultimately, we will still face problems working with others. I like to clarify that this picture does not give us a solution to work more appropriately in group works, but rather more objectively, is to explicate to us an exemplary example on how to work more cooperatively between one another. In this way, we also learn how to accept one another's opinion, therefore, making a much more fruitful decision, as a team.

Indeed, teamwork plays an essential role in most projects. I also believe that with teamwork, we can really achieve anything. As the saying goes, to win as a team, and to loose as a team. We must uphold teamwork in our society. Unfortunately, we do not see it.

You have comprehensively covered all aspects of the picture. However, there is a need to be more consistent; how can the man be both 'listening attentively' and bored? Also, be careful of excess speculation; further proof is needed to say that the lady is the man's companion.
