Original Art Photography Series by @velimir #58 'The seagull'

The name of this art photograph is: 'The seagull'

This photograph gives me a feeling of relaxation but not to the point of inactivity. The water surface is only slightly disturbed by the breeze, and it is the only element working against it. The amount of disturbance is just right, and I like it. The blue water surface in the bottom of the image is dead-still and it is quite enough. If the entire surface was a plain mirror, the image would probably not be so interesting.

With all things said, the seagull at the top of the bow of the dingy is definitely not the main element. However, I must admit, that it spices up the story, so much that I named the photograph as I did. Actually, the white dingy and the seagull almost blend into each other, even so much that one does have to look around to find the seagull. Luckily, there are grey feathers distinguishing the seagull from the boat.

The main element of this image is colour. Notice how the cold part of the spectrum, represented by blue and green, is splendidly balanced with the warm part, represented by yellow and two small areas of red. No matter how small the red is, it makes the most subliminal impact on the observer. Turn your attention to how the colour temperature also creates colour perspective. From the cold blue in the foreground, through green, it floats up to yellow and ends in red!

Light and dark areas are well balanced throughout the entire image. Two white areas are both well positioned, jointly balancing the dark and medium parts.

Enjoy!
