"Sound of water" Waterfalls,rock formations,and foilage can vary in size and shape,and without a point of reference, an image of such can play with an individuals mind about its scale. There has been no post-production on this image as I did not want to alter it in anyway as I was happy with the angle, natural colours and lighting.
surrounded by nature Autumn and the leaves from the tree in the centre of the photography have completely withered away leaving only the trunk and branches exposed. However,even with winter fast approaching, there are plants and trees which flower or keep their foliage.
beauty within
the never-ending path This Photograph is clearly of a man made path straight through woodland with the trees cultivated on either side which forms a sort of tunnel as the branches reach towards each other.
Spring time in the woods represents new beginnings with flowers starting to bloom. Unique,vibrant colours are beginning to show,rapidly filling up the bare patches left after autumn and winter. Colours can impact on people in varying ways depending on such things as their culture or mood. Most people of western cultures may view the white flowers with in this particular photograph to reflect a sense of cleanliness and calmness conveying peace and relaxation.
"Sound of water Part 2" This Photograph captivated the smoothness of the water surrounded by natural colours. Visualising being in setting such as this and imagining the sounds and smells this would have a calming and relaxing effect on a person.
