The thick, bright green moss is what first caught my attention for this image. I tried taking pics of just the mossy fencepost, but I decided to include the old, red barn in the background to give some sense of place and for the complementary colors. The fence is more prominent and the background more blurred than I would normally make it for a landscape photo. Also, the fence leads off to the left rather than the right. I would have liked some more dramatic lighting for the scene, but the day I had to shoot was overcast and gray.
I like your thinking/contemplation before squeezing the shutter. Since the moss is what caught your eye, what could you have done to make it more of a focal point while still including the background in a supporting role?
ReplyDeleteAs seen in my experiment, punching up the tonal range and a little sharpening can do wonders for a photo.
