The use of composition in photography is really important. When a photograph is composed properly and creatively, it will surely look gorgeous. Landscape photos make use of composition allows images to be dramatic and visually appealing. The picture featured here was taken right off the beautiful state of Colorado during the fall season. There are plenty of photographers who go visit Colorado just to capture the beautiful scenery of the autumn where leaves shed off their lush green colors. This photograph is all about effective composition and gorgeous autumn foliage.
This fine art image captures the majestic beauty of Colorado. The elements were appropriate layers of the horizon, the mountains, foreground and the intricate lines of Aspen trees. This created an intense scale and depth for the photo. Depth was induced to the background as the photographer focused the viewer’s attention on the foreground with a strong subject – the golden yellow Aspen trees. In this manner, the human eye seemed to separate the layers in the picture making the viewer visualize the scenery in a much wider dimension.
The strong contrast of textures among the different elements in the environment made this a very interesting shot. The rugged and prominent texture of the mountain and rock formations on the foreground of this shot stood so well against the smooth and soft feel of the clouds above. The irregular horizontal lines create a tranquil feeling. As the mountains and the clouds cross the entire frame of the camera, it was so realistically convincing.
A fine art print of this image will look good in an apartment or a corridor at home. Hanging it on a wall will draw attention of the visitors to the beautiful picture. It will create a feeling of warm and coziness.
