This photograph was taken by aerial photographer, Alex Maclean. This piece has no title but is classified under "Growing". This photo was taken from above, looking almost directly down. The fence on the left follows the rule of thirds. The trees are located in the spaces between the vertical rule of thirds grid lines. This photo is asymmetrical because when "divided" in half, the composition on the left and right are different. If each tree itself is focused on, the shadows would make them radial. There is not a main focal point. The lines of the fence and the shadows of the trees are both equally important in this photograph. This picture is horizontal. There is not foreground, middle ground, and background because the photo is take from the above. There are many leading lines in the picture. The shadows lead you from the top right to the middle left and then the eye is caught by the shadows created by the fence. The subject matter, the trees and fence, are very compelling. The point of view is unusual and very creative. Not many people can take pictures from an airplane. The mood of this aerial shot is peaceful. The snow and natural shadows of the trees gives a contrast between the man-made fence. Leading lines is the most successful element of design. Alex Maclean could've also cropped the right side of the photograph, the trees, into one picture. I chose this photograph because the shadows of the trees caught my eye. I liked the blue shadows on the white snow, along with the brown trees.
