What I like about this picture
is the use of balance. Only the beach and the umbrellas cover the bottom third
of the photo. When moving up the photo, the beach becomes more distant and the
umbrellas start to become smaller and smaller. This creates a natural movement
for the viewer’s eyes to follow the path of umbrellas from the bottom of the
frame to the top.
What creates balance in this
photo is that the beach is always in the center of the photo. The beach covers
the entire bottom of the photo, but midway through a city appears on the left
and an ocean appears on the right. The beach becomes smaller and narrower as it
moves into the distance because the city and the ocean start to take over more
of the frame. What helps the viewer’s eyes move along with the beach is the
path of colorful umbrellas. The colors are vibrant and they stand out against
the neutrality of the sand. They also appear in repeating blocks, and they give
the photo a sort of pattern that is very intriguing.
