The Greens and Blue
Have you ever liked a photograph and not know why? Perhaps it’s just something you relate too or the feeling it evokes deep down inside that have no explanation. It just feels good to look at it.
This is one of those images for me. Looking down this fairway there is nothing in particular that captures our attention. But there is something clean and fresh about this scene. The air is fresh and the grass is green. It just makes me want to take off my shoes and walk to the distant lake. This appears to be a golf course in Tucson surrounded by condominiums. The time is late afternoon and it is a perfect day. There is something refreshing about the image.
I Like the texture in the grass and the rich blues of the sky. There are just enough clouds on the horizon to balance the strong foot hills lit by the setting sun. The single condo overlooking this landscape makes me want to move there and enjoy the view.

I feel the condo visible on the left edge is too distracting. The vibrant color forces the eye to the edge of the picture, and anchors the picture in the wrong place. It makes the picture too “commercial’, thus attenuating the feeling that it is aiming to represent.
Without this distraction, it is an excellent picture, and evokes a lot of calming emotions.
