Classical-Style Composition

As with the “Hidden in the Woods” post, this is another ‘see-it-snap-it’ composition. When one’s eye is attuned to composition in the manner of art, landscapes and structures sometimes come together from various perspectives and ‘gel’ in the sense of looking just-so. The buildings, half seen through the trees, may be taken to be the subject matter, but the woods are the statement of nature overlying human influence on the world. The arch of the foliage at the top almost frames the picture, while the conformation is suggestive of Fragonard or Constable. It was a grey, soft-light day when I snapped this, in November, 2011, in Mowbray Park, Sunderland, during my fourth UK expedition. I adjusted colour, contrast and sharpness in Irfanview, plus some squaring up with fine rotation; Fuji FinePix S5600. Image by Mike.
