Been trying to withhold posting this one…but I think the time has come. It’s inevitable now. It must be posted.
I feel this photo adheres to one of the biggest clichés in photography. “Something focused in the foreground, with depth of field played on a sunset/sunrise in the background.” *Commence large sigh*
So I ran across this little sunset last year when we were in Oxfordshire visiting the University…didn’t end up there but never mind.
So I’m not going to deny that there is something remarkably artistic about photos like this. The contrast between the depth of field and the focus…but I really can’t help but feel that they are a bit cliché. Although I guess I can’t say too much considering how I am just as guilty for taking this kind of photo.
Anyway, hopefully it will still appeal to some of you. I still find it quite artistic. I just find myself wincing sometimes when I look at it.
