A few weeks ago, my friend Kellie came to visit for the weekend before she moved to Chicago. Me, Kellie, and my roommate Becca decided to go to the Balboa Pier and walk around, get some cotton candy, and just hang out. We walked down to a grassy area and came upon a tree perfect for climbing. So of course, Kellie and Becca jumped right on it and quickly found that it was easier to climb up than it was to get down. I snapped this photo just as Kellie had climbed up, and noticed right away that the lighting was beautiful in it. While it was an overcast day, no spectacular sunlight or anything, the way that the light filtered through the leaves was beautiful. In this photo, I love the sense of foreground and background that is created. I feel like Kellie really pops out from the background, creating a sort of three-dimensional feel.

ReplyDeleteA lo of layers of foreground and background :)
