Moonshine

This photo is a horrible shot in my opinion. Yes I took it so I can say what I want. It's out of focus and does not group anything together very well. The points of interest are spread all over the frame and shows little in context or emotion. There's too much negative space in the picture.

To not feel so bad about myself I decided to post another picture I took that same night using better proximity with surrounding images in the photo. Even though there are mainly 3 stages of distance, in the 2nd photo (barn, mountains, moon) they can easily be grouped together and we find closure in the shot.

"Fallow the Leader"

This photo I chose as great examples of some Gestalt principals. The trees and their grouping fallow both the law of similarity, proximity, and closure. Their grouping, the way they move away from the sunset and brightness of the sky. The use of lines are amazing both the sun rays and vertical usage of the trees. Well done Brain once again!
