On a weekend trip to Jasper with the family, I did get a chance to do some shooting. I find it difficult sometimes to shoot in the mountains, because I tire easily of the common mundane photography that is so prevalent of that area. Hopefully I can come up with images that stand out as being a bit different, but still has visual appeal. Shots like this contain a lot of green color, and sometimes the color can be overpowering, as it predominates so much. Not only that, an image still needs line and shape to draw attention. So here the burnt tree creates a nice diagonal across the image. The diagonal meets the vertical and the eye ends up going back and forth across the image. The horizontal tree on the ground also directs the eye back and forth across the image. Actually the central focal point is the conjunction of all three lines. The red tones in the burnt tree creates a vibration between red and green colors, since they are opposites on the color wheel.
