This black-and-white photo shows a quiet lake surrounded by trees. The water is calm, with small islands and a distant shoreline. Big clouds fill the sky, and the trees in the foreground lean over the scene like they’re watching. The artist used light and shadow to make the trees and hills look almost three-dimensional. It’s like the photo was taken on a misty day, adding a dreamy feel. Check out how this photo uses chiaroscuro—the strong contrast between light and dark—to create depth.
