Landscape Image Bank

I like this image because I like the way the colours and tones all work together. Especially in the sky and the way the red tinted clouds work against the muted blue sky. I also like the angle the picture has been taken from as all the trees are in line and leading downwards and we can see that direction. I also like the simplicity of the trees, I think it has quite a powerful connotation as trees are known for being very bright and full with green leaves however seeing trees in such a bare way is quite contradicting. I think this portrays quite a lonely connotation.

I like how this picture has been taken from above so we can see the rooftops peering through hills. In addition I think the background horizon of what appears to be a landscape of factories and smoke. I think whilst this is not very obvious as it appears to be quite far away in the picture and can't see much detail, I think it adds depth to the picture. I also think the dark tones and shadows give the picture quite a mysterious connotation.

I really like the overall effect and connotation of this picture. The denotations are a very shadowed and transport tree landscape that has been reflected. I think the reflection and the way the clouds start to fade into the trees it makes the trees look like they're fading away. I think this has a mysterious connotation as it is quite an abstract way of seeing a landscape. I think the tonal contrast and the simplicity of the picture helps build this connotation.

I like this picture because of the abstract aspect of it. This is because the picture shows the top of the skyscrapers but because of the dark shadows, the rest of the buildings is quite difficult to see. This makes the picture have quite eery and daunting connotation because of the dark tones and shadows. I think it's quite powerful how there is no other objects, like the background is very plain, this makes the buildings stand out even more. 

I like the way the back half of the picture is overpowered by the clouds and mist. This makes the picture have quite a frightening effect as the building in itself is quite strange and ancient looking. I also think the way the picture has been manipulated, especially the way the dark tones have been accentuated, in addition the way the colours have been muted, this adds to the eeriness as bright colours portray happiness and adds life to the picture.
