The first thing I notice in this photo is the curving lines of the border around the bushes. The next thing my eye is drawn to is the bushes, and then the building in the background. The curve of the bushes, as well as the bright green color of them really stands out. The haziness of the building in the far background really creates the atmosphere.
In front of me is a photo of a bush with a wooden double trim around the base of it, on the light green and brown grass. At one time the border might have been a flower bed. The bushes are a bright green and yellow, with muted red tones mixed in. The curve of the trim leads the eye up a hill and in the background is a college dormitory with cars parked in front of it.
I like the composition of this photo because the bush is not right in the middle, and the atmospheric perspective of the building in the background adds depth to the photo. I really like the curving line. It draws the eye upward and around the photo. Your eyes feel like they are going up the hill. The contrast of the colors is nice. There is a light green, bright green, yellows, and some muted fall colors. There are really light blues and grays of the building and atmosphere surrounding it. Each part of this landscape is noticeable and stands out from the rest.
This photo tells a story of students who walk up that hill from their cars to go to the dorms and rest or eat, or even just to have fun. I would call this photo "the hill".
Joseph Mallord William Turner did many landscape paintings and drawings. Since my photo is of a landscape, they have that connection. However, many of his paintings were of bridges or the sea. My photo most connects with his work, "Buttermere Lake, with Part of Cromackwater, Cumberland, a Shower" because of all of the curving lines, the hills, and the atmospheric perspective used.
