Composition

• If the photographer would of zoomed more in then the landscape within the picture wouldn’t have been as beautiful as it is , for instance the river would have been cut of and the surroundings so the main focus would have been on the mountain alone.

Techniques used

• The difference within these two photo’s is that the bottom one of the two has a lot more detail to colour like everywhere were as the top one has a sepia effect to it and a lot more close up so you can notice the detail more.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Usually with photography I don’t like a lot of colour well too much colour because the picture looks over detailed , if photographers can make a simple image look so detailed and interesting I think there the best types.
