Repoussoir Landscape

Week 19, Assignment 2. Landscape with a foreground element. The French have a wonderfully obscure term for this technique - but I can't think of it "repussoir" maybe. It has to do with pushing. Anyway, landscapes can often be a bit boring, putting something in the foreground really helps the viewer get into the image. Be aware that your foreground element should not impede the viewer, but help them. tag with cwd192.

 

This is the most difficult of the three assignments for me. I shot about 40 pics for this, and this is the one that I'm happiest with.
