1.  The deep red fire hydrant catches my eye first, of course.  When dealing with red, many of the other colors fade into the distance.  The left side of the hydrant (not sure what it's called) then points to the pole at the front as if to say, "Don't forget about him!"  It makes me feel safe to see this image.

2.  The most eye catching part is the fire hydrant, taking up the far right side of the image.  The "arm" then points to a sea greenish pole on the far left side of the image.  The hydrant has more detail because of it's distance from the camera, while the pole (closer up) is less distinct in it's details.  Between the startling red and softer green is a bolder green, grass.  Although the color of the grass is mixed with browns and other earth-tone colors, some parts are still able to shine through with bolster, creating a good contrast with the hydrant.  A sidewalk seems to begin just behind the hydrant and continues moving towards the top left of the photo until disappears off the picture.

3.  As I mentioned earlier, the lines are strong and bold in the fire hydrant as it is in better focus than the pole seen closer up.  With the combination of the "pointing" part of the hydrant and the sidewalk, a good balance of eye movement is achieved.  The use of perspective is achieved greatly in the composition as the detail in the grass is lost as it gets farther away from the viewer and the blades closest to the observer are shown in great detail.

4.  The photo tells the story of "age."  With the near-new looking hydrant and the obviously need-repair pole shows the battle these objects experience everyday with nature.  The ground work is the same.  Near the hydrant, the plants are dead, lifeless.  The shrubs behind the red monster are also brown and brittle looking.  But with those discolored images also comes a show of new-age and vigor.  The proud green grass is trying to counterbalance the cold and bleak attitude of winter.  The blades have grown fresh and new since near end of winter, while the shrubs have endured the cold and are in need of refreshing.

5.  Mr. Cezanne and I are alike in a couple aspects; instead of using the stark contrast of true complimentary colors, we instead used tones of these colors to create a more subtle hint of the contrast.  We also both used still life as our objects quite often.  Now, while his colors are even more subtle than even mine, he also repeats this contrast throughout the whole composition... not just in the main focal point of the picture.
