This black-and-white photo shows a quiet forest path with tall, thin trees lining both sides. The ground is a mix of dirt and grass, and the trees cast long shadows. A few small bushes and patches of sunlight break up the shade. The photo looks like it was taken in a rural area, with no people or buildings in sight. The trees are bare or lightly leafed, giving the scene a calm, natural feel. Next, check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth.
