characterized by the absence of distinguishing qualities or features. lacking positive attributes. (dull, lifeless, negative.)

this indeed is characterized by the absence of life. for instance the sky. The sky itself is blue when things are alive, well and awake. here you find a black sky with white objects. its a dreary picture with no true meaning to it.

The major differences that I see in the picture are minor blemishes. other than the color change, I see that on this picture that the edges seem a little warped and discolored slightly, possibly due to light refraction. After all, it was a makeshift lens. I'm not sure what the lines on the both of them are from, I noticed them when I first put them into the chemicals; I assumed it was from the process.
