Rest Day - Abdullah AlAwadhi


This image is from Abdullah AlAwadhi. 

The image makes me feel very relaxed and in a state of mind that makes me loose track of everything. Being away from the city backgrounds and being able to get away in a nice relaxing place where nature surrounds you instead of hearing the noises of the city, work, and all related stress that comes along with it. This image is composed very well uses the Rule of thirds and the color of green as you can see if the most detailed. The image also uses the strategy of a Frame within a Frame from the reflection from the water. The composer that took the image calls this image "Rest Day". At the end of the picture it also shows perspective view as well because you can see the waterfall in the distance. I enjoy looking at pictures that are very calm and relaxing because you can image yourself there at the place and you can hear the waterfalling, nature at its peak, birds chirping and the vibrations of the water. This image speaks not only to a view of relaxation but also gives you something to look forward to if you ever take a vacation to somewhere nice. Reminds me of our ranch in mexico.

That moment when you realize its your birthday and your brother starts playing music for you.
Who cares what your hair looks like.

The time your looking for the cash a co-worker owes you and instead wants to keep the money from you just a little bit longer. So this is the extent of my search.

The image in the left is the picture you expect to take. 
The image on the right is what you end up taking a picture of.
