I took this picture this past summer on my honeymoon to Mexico.
It represents the idea of focus, particularly what we focus on in life. When you
first look at this picture your eye is naturally drawn to the colors in the sky and the
fading sunset. You notice the tropical palm trees with their textured shapes.
After a while you finally notice all the darkness in the picture. About half of
the picture is black with barely-noticeable shapes and objects in the
blackness. We naturally gravitate and
focus on the sky in this picture which can be harder to do in real life. If we
focus on the light in any picture or situation it is much easier to not pay any
attention to the darkness. Your eye naturally acknowledges the darkness is
there but it is the last thing you really look at. That’s the way we should
live our life- focusing on the light or good things and paying little or no attention
to the darkness that is out there.
This colors in this picture are so pretty. I like how the viewers attention is drawn to the colors. The dark objects is perfect for sending the viewers attention to the colors. I really like how that works.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you have a silhouette of the foreground and stark beautiful colors in the background! Awesome
ReplyDeleteI love the lighting and the silhouettes of the trees against the sky is great. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. Most would go out somewhere clear to capture such a great sunset, but I love that you took it with trees and other things to create the dark foreground. It really helps you appreciate the sky and the line between us and the world out there.
ReplyDeleteI totally love this! A - it's an awesome picture and B - it represents a concept super well. I love your concept, it's a good reminder to be positive!
