The picture shows fish in an aquarium. The aquarium has fish of different colors and sizes and they are swimming in different directions. The picture does not focus on one fish but gives a large view of just about the whole aquarium, it therefore reveals the beauty of the whole setting which includes the water, all the fish and the sea plants/animals. The light is coming from above and is mostly in the centre which adds more beauty and makes the fish more visible. The pictutre has a feel of what its really like under the sea because of the deamness in the sides of the picture. Many people be it male or female find this as an attraction because fish just like many other animals are something great to look at. Because of their calm and peaceful nature many people like to keep them as their pets. Naturally human beings are affectionate, we have the desire to receive and give affection to fellow humans and even animals. Whether as an individual or in the company of others, for a person fish are therefore a source of pleasure because they are beautiful to look at and to an extent can be a source of entertainment and one can show affection to them by taking care of them and feeding them.

When I first saw this picture I didn't know what to think. I thought we were suppose to take a picture of something that shows the socialization of gender in children. After reading the explanation I still did not feel the true meaning of the fish in relation to socialization of gender in children. The picture is saying that fish are there for entertainment and pretty to look at.
I agree with the first person who commented on this photo, I'm not really sure that this fits what we were supposed to do. That being said, I think that the picture obviously illustrates that fish are attractive and that they are a source of human pleasure. They are also not gender biased at all; men and women tend to like them equally. I do not think that this project really it what the instructor asked for at all, but, it’s a pretty picture! I went to the aquarium a few weeks ago and was just fantastic!
This picture is not gender biased at all. It really does give you a good example of something that is for men and women. Usually things are for one gender and one gender only. This also gives me a good explanation of the picture, i def agree with you. You are def on the right track with the picture.
I agree with the previous posts. There is a good start here with the explanation but because it shows nothing about males or females, this photograph could be better.
