Chaos and Decay
Project 365 – Day 60
Much is going on in this scene, which greatly challenged my compositional skills. There are vines, briars, and overgrowth everywhere. Each are fitting companions to the deteriorating shed and decaying, horizontal tree trunks. I always try to simplify elements of a composition in an effort to convey the primary subject(s) of interest while minimizing distractions. To my eye’s view, the framing of the stump and log in the foreground, the anchor trees at positioned on each side of the middle ground, and the shed in the background, invite one to wander through the scene in a circular path.

Looks like a scene from a horror movie! Death and decay all around…with one little patch of life 1/4 of the way in on the right.
