This photograph entitled “Nuther” I thought was perfect for composition. It is easy to miss the woman in the photograph as her pale skin and body movement allow her to blend in with the trees. This picture was obviously intended to make the woman appear to be part of the trees and the success of this depends greatly on the composition of the photograph. The position of the woman is extremely important for the desired affect here. Notice the way her body is curved and moving in the directions of the branches right behind her. Also the tone of the woman’s skin needs to be light so that she can blend into the background, and the fact that she is lighter than the trees allows the viewer to eventually realize that she is there. If she were the exact color of the trees then she would be missed and the point of the picture would be missed. It is also interesting that the woman is neither in the background or the foreground of the photograph, but rather she is right in the middle, attempting to blend into the background. The woman is proportionately much smaller than most of the trees surrounding her but seems to be closer to the size of the brush that she is standing in front of. This is another very skillful and artistic way of using the human form tastefully to create a beautiful piece of art.
 * COMPOSITION**

I think it is important to understand that in photography there is something called "The Rule of Thirds" and I remember being taught this when I took photography at my previous school. The Rule of Thirds is something photographers are taught when learning about composition and it is best described visually so if you are interested go to this link as it breaks it down in some understandable terminology []
