Composition and Lighting

ANSEL ADAMS
 
In this image by Ansel Adams the composition provides us with a fluid motion that draws our eye
from the bottom left corner through the upper center of the image. This is accented by the delicate use of lighting
on the tops of some of the branches in the foreground. The fact that the background shadows fade to
absolute black gives a strong sense of depth. You can almost imagine something living behind this
wooden fortress waiting to jump out at you.
