Triangles

What I like about this image, taken in Arches National Park, in Utah, is the repetition of shapes, in this case, of triangles.If you look closely, you will see at least four of them. Repetition of shapes usually creates interest in the image. Vincent van Gogh used triangles in many of his paintings, as have many other artists.  I was attracted by the light red stone in the foreground, which leads the eye upward to the bush. The shrub is the focal point of the image. Lines from the far right background also lead toward the shrub, as well as the rock from the left, coming in from the top and leading down to the shrub, and stopping at the top edge of the light colored stone in the foreground. The light surface of the foreground stone also directs the eye to the center of the image. Another unifying force in the image is the harmony of colors. This shot does have a few out of focus spots, but that was due to the fact that I shot it with a 50 mm lens, with the aperture wide open, resulting in a narrow depth of field. The foreground rock is the object most in focus.
