Address any of the following questions in your discussion post: 1. What is the relationship of Orange Thrush to the landscape subject type? How does Orange Thrush depart from typical representations of the landscape subject type? 2. Who do you think would be likely to buy this photograph if it was for sale in an art gallery? Explain your response. 3. Why is it unlikely that this work of art would have been created before our present era? Remember that the bird depicted in Orange Thrush is fake.
