Red Barn and Clouds
This is a
classic composition of a scene of a red barn...something we all drive by
at the speed limit and barely notice.
Gianni has made
a photograph that has a good composition, with strong colors of green
grass, a red barn and a warm-summer sky with billowing white clouds/
The white
diamond on the barn sets off the barn's roof line, offering a strong
counterpoint to the intense red color. It echoes the angle of the roof.
The tree on the
right actually leans to the right and curves up into the clouds then the
eye follows on to the wonderful clouds in the shape of curved lines
leading back to the barn.
Winter's Solitude-
by Scott Hooker
There is a saying that "good things come in
threes". Scott's
micro-landscape uses this idea of keeping things simple to produce a
photograph with a strong graphical impact.
Winter is a time
of minimal color, and the photo reinforces this.....so the viewer
focuses on the three symmetrical trees and their relationship in the
snow, devoid of any distracting objects.
It is
interesting that the center tree is more dominant than the two trees on
each side. This balances the photo....giving it an almost calming impact
on the viewer.
Living in the Rochester area we can enjoy all four seasons, and this
photograph reminds us about the beauty of a season when many of us
"hunker down" and don't get
out to enjoy winter's beauty.
Sea Waves
This is a
masterful photograph in which Anthony displays a solid pyramid of a rock
in the center of turbulent waters.
The contrast of
the hardness of the rock and the flowing water (using a longer expose to
blur the currents) along with what looks like a whirlpool makes for a
dramatic contrast.
The limited
color pallet reinforces the artistry of this photograph.
One cannot tell
the scale of the rock and the water--it could be a small pebble or a
giant pyramid... leaving much to the viewer’s imagination.
The viewer can
almost hear the water rippling around the stone....making this a
photograph that reinforces enjoying this visual experience for a long
time. | ||||||||||
