The darkness of the wood is enhanced by the rich green, yellow and red leaves. The splits in the wood form an intriguing pattern and draw the eye into the centre of the piece of wood. Should have used the tripod the increase depth of field, in particularly, making the leaves at the front in focus. |
The white bark of the birch is enhanced by the copper green cosmoses and brown red berries. I love the detail in the cosmoses that frame the white bark, effectively giving the vision of a white hole. Should have taken this at a slightly different angle, as the birch in the background is distracting. This should have been nicely blurred background as on the other side. Eye may be going round in circles rather than focusing in on the white centre. |
