Foreground of Trees

These photos are all similar in their composition. The main figure in the foreground of this photo is a limb on a pine tree. It seems as though you are sheltered by the tree and looking out into the open land. The ground in this composition is actually a golf course. The overall composition of this photo compares well with William Kentridge’s drawings. Many of his drawings have objects in the foreground and a scenic background.





This photo is of a near-dry creek. The image contains many trees but a distinct feature is the limbs nearest to the viewer. This effect helps to give a realistic visual feeling. It too has a sense of depth with of variety of distances to objects. The foreground in this picture is the sloping hill on the far side the creek. Like William Kentridge's drawings, this photo too has objects in the foreground and a scenic background.








This picture is very visually appealing. With a long, slender tree limb stretching out across the photo, it leads the eye to the left side of the picture. From there the trees reflections in the water may catch your eye. Then leading you to the herizon line made up of trees. It has some similarities to the two previous pictures, but has one distinct difference. Like William Kentridge's drawings, this picture has immense amount of eye movement.
