Around the Bend

This photo was taken on a summer trip to the Santa Cruz Mountains. What I like about this photo is that it progressively gets brighter as your eye goes upwards from the bottom. In a way, it shows that there is always light at the end of the tunnel!

Composition:

The first thing to note in this photo is that the tree is to the right, and not in the center. It is following the Rule of Thirds. A second thing to notice is the contrast in colors. The left side is bright while the right side is darker.
