Landscape



1. One of the first things I notice about this photo is the little bit of green still left on the trees. I also notice a path going across the bottom part of the photo.  This photo must have been taken during the fall because the color of most of the plant life if brown and dull.  The trees look small because of the lack of leaves.

2. What I see in front of me is a photo of some plant life during the fall.  Towards the bottom of the photo is a path of some sort slanting a bit up when it goes to the right of the photo.  There is plenty of grass but it is brown. Behind it and towards the top of the photo is a small tree line consisting of ten or so trees that have lost many of their leaves and what leaves are left are brown.  It looks like there are some dead weeds growing around the trees. You can also see behind the trees where there is what appears to be a small pasture that is also brown. Above the pasture is a horizon line of a setting sun.

3. The composition of this photo is an interesting one because of the path cutting across the bottom of the photo and the tree line behind it.  The quality of the lines in this photo is decent but there really aren't all that many lines in this photo besides the horizon line, the edges of the trees and the path at the bottom.  The color of this photo is interesting because it is of plant life during the fall so there is some green but mostly brown.  What little green there is really pops out because it is surrounded by very dull colors. The placement in space of this photo is interesting because there is a foreground a middle ground and a background that clearly exists.

4. I think this photo does tell a story.  The photo tells the story of life. You have to do things before it is too late.  If you wait too long you might miss the chance of a literal lifetime. This photo shows the ending of a lifetime and there is very little time to accomplish what you should do before you die.  One word that describes this photo would have to be - Fulfill.

5. Mallord William Turner's pieces connects to my photo rather well.  It seems like Turner was rather fond of being relatively monochromatic in his pieces except for an area of bright color.  My photo is relatively brown and has a touch of green in it.  It also appears that he liked to create works that were at least inspired from nature and real life. My photo is from nature and connects well with Turner's works.
