Remnant of a Fallen
Gaze at the Lighthouse
Daniel Silver
has skillfully used a colorful foreground and a strong leading
line to his lighthouse subject in his superbly composed
photograph titled Gaze at the Lighthouse. He has placed three
interesting components tactfully together to fill the frame of
his image. The two
bright red chairs produce a strong foreground anchor. He
masterfully has positioned his camera so that the chairs look
out at the white fence. The viewer’s eye is then lead along the
fence until it ultimately is directed to the lighthouse.
The slight
diagonal angle of the fence enhances the eye’s flow to the
lighthouse. The
tower of the lighthouse is strategically placed at the upper
left axis of the image thus utilizing the power of the “rule of
thirds”. Balance is
created by the triangulation of the three major components of
the image.
Emotion is also
communicated by this image.
This occurs because the physical arrangement of the basic
three elements invites us to step into the image. The allure of
the red chairs is powerful and we can imagine ourselves sitting
in them while we sip coffee in the early morning, or read a
book, or hold hands with one we love, or take a snooze, or use
the waves of the sea to daydream. The simplicity rendered by the
three major components is very powerful.
There are no distractions or portions of the image that
detract from the theme. Daniel’s Gaze at the Lighthouse, is a
true masterpiece photograph. | ||||||
