    Photography Notes

    The tree reads through isolation, with positioning controlling how cleanly it separates from the background. Slight elevation changes alter the horizon line behind the tree, affecting contrast and visibility of its form. Lateral movement changes alignment with distant hills and determines how distinct the silhouette appears.
