I stopped of en route to work to capture the pink and red sky of the sunrise. The images I took prior to sunrise were much more successful. I love the different blue hues that make this image very powerful and pleasing to the eye. The subtlety of the different blues make this a pleasing landscape image. The panoramic format accentuates the broad river, and although the horizon in the centre would normally split the image into two parts, the line of posts provides a lead in linking the two halves. Due to the elevated viewpoint, the line of posts also provides a sense of scale, enhancing the width and depth. The eye is drawn along this lead in, but instead of leaving the frame on the left, gets drawn into to the lights in the distance due to the darker lines of the hills pointing to the distant centre. |
The lush green colours of the grasses and mosses are enhance by the contrasting red sandstone and black peaty water. The composition enhances this image of a mystical place. |
