The Attraction of Simplicity
My featured image this month takes us “back to basics”, as it were. At first glance, anyway:
Up to the Edge
Click here to see the image in the online gallery.
In reality, of course, this architectural study is overflowing with detail. Sure, it’s all about composition, light and subtle color (I especially love images which first appear at first sight to be black-and-white, but aren’t), but look closer.
On further study, surface textures and patterns jump out, and the straight lines are neither simple nor straight. The play of light and shade makes the image three-dimensional and solid. But that’s reality for you.
Finally, I like the ambiguity of scale, There’s no clue in the image to help the viewer judge how big it is, or what may lie outside the frame. That’s the photographer for you!
