Composition


-Talking about Composition-
(not my photo)

Out of the three pictures given to us, I like looking at this one the most. The billboard is nearly smack in the middle of the composition, but it is at an angle that doesn't make it awkward-looking. The bottom coincides with the horizon line near the other mountains, creating almost an illusion of realness for this mountain until further inspection. The wispy clouds at the very top all point in towards the billboard, drawing our eye to it. The other clouds are in a nearly straight line at the top third and just create a nice border for the top of the board and a break in the blue so the board doesn't blend in with the sky. The fence could also bring your eyes from the front right back to the horizon line on the left.
Colors in the picture are also important. The yellows, greens, and blues that are occurring naturally all work well together. The brown of the fence and the slice of grey from the road are both moving in the same direction towards the back of the photo, and give a nice break from a continuous mix of the greens. The billboard has slightly more saturated hues that the rest of the composition, which makes it stand out.
Overall, I just think it's beautiful.  :)
