Sunrise over mountains



This is a photo taken in the Australian outback. The photographer was sitting in a cave when the sun came up and took this photo.


I find this photo visually attractive for a few reasons. I like how the rays of sunlight are seen off the sun itself. I also like how the light from the sun and the angle of it make the cave's roof that amazing earthy red colour. This photo is also visually attractive to me because I like how the rocks and everything inside the cave is glowing, it gives you a really good comparison when the valley running throught the mountains is a dark brown. It gives you the impression that this cave is keeping watch over the valley.

This photo could also be attractive because of how great the camera itself is when it took the photo. It's captured everything in very fine detail. You can see the texture of the rocks, you can see the sun itself very well. Also the photo could catch people's eye because it's very bright. Bright colours attract people's attention. If it was all brown like the valey below most people wouldn't even give it a second glance.

This photo is magnificent and I only wish that I had been there when it was taken to experience the view that this one lucky photographer got.
