Iv been looking at the work of David Ward. I really like the images he is able to produce. Some of the images are very simple and seemingly easy to reproduce. One photo is simply a path leading out into the water, leading the viewer eye straight up the photo. It uses soft light, which makes the image seem more peaceful.
Not all of his photos are like this, some are cleverly composed. They make the subjects appear larger than they are, or he uses reflections in the foreground to move the viewers eye across the page. One photo when i first saw it i thought had a hole in the rock, but in-fact it was a pool of water, David had used the reflection of the sun as the foreground.
Most of his images show the sun off to one side, this uses the rule of thirds, making the photo more visually pleasing, other than just placing the sun in the centre of the photo.
One photo shows a tree to one side, with a mountain in the background as a stream flows through the middle of the image. When you first look at the photo your eyes immediately drawn towards the stream, which then leads your eye up the photo towards the tree, then at last your eyes settle on the mountains in the background. I find the tree to be the main focus point of the image, dew to it being the most unusual part of the photo. I also like the colour of the sky, the dark blues give the feeling of cold, it looks as tho a storm is about to begin.
