The picture uses natural lighting. It's amazing! Perfect composition techniques- Angled great so there is no unecessary mergers, perfect lighting. It even makes an abstract image. main subject- getting view through the tree tunnel. I chose this picture first because I love forests and when the sun shines through, everything is perfect.

The lighting is natural, comes from the sun peaking through the cliffs. Main subject- catching the sunlight through a small crack. The light makes you look, wonder. Comp. techniques- I think there could be some leading lines and framing to see the sun THROUGH the opening in the rocks. This photo interests me with the light peaking through.
