Visceral Response

'Cascade Falls in Autumn'  Zion National Park, Utah
by David J. West 

This picture includes the following design elements:
  • line- the rocks draw the eye across the image and the trees and water draw the eye up and down in the image
  • color- the colors of this image are very warm and inviting
  • space- the amount of rock/water to the trees is divided using the rule of thirds
  • texture- the texture from the water and the rocks are very smooth while the leaves bring more texture.
I think that all of these elements add to it and contribute to the beauty of this image.  To me this image feels like home, I have lived in Southern Utah most of my life so when I see an image like this I can not think about all the happy memories I have with my family.
