Visual:

For the visual aspect of this image it evidently has vivid colours, this point is help supported by the refreshing green shade illuminating the main focus of the image, the stones. The tone of the image has a much brighter feels to it this is due the nature of the tree and the grass highlighting bright green shades, this factor is the supporting the importance of the centre piece of the stones. The surface of the rocks is uneven and compliantly different colours with aspects of lighter and darker colours this help create the more uneven texture of the rocks. This point helps lead to the idea of the image having features that create a 3D structure and furthermore add emphasis to the minor repetition produced by the positioning of the rocks with three stones lined up and a fourth one laid across the three stones, this layout adds aspects of symmetry and creates a more aesthetically pleasing view. Finally there is not evident or strong line structure to the image as the stones and in fact are quite the opposite due to the uneven lines, textures and colour coming from the stones.

Technical:

From this image it’s clear natural lighting from the sun in the main source of illumination therefore producing the natural shadows from the trees and stones due to the over whelming over exposure from the daylight. The historical stones are places on a land field, on what looks like fresh green grass which overall help as contrasting colours to the image. Overall the image looks fairly natural and does not look manipulated to look a certain way rather the photographer using the natural lighting and the camera control to get the perfect view feel to the feel. The photograph has a large strong sharp feeling towards it make the stones really stand out against the contrasting green trees and grass. The photography is clearly focused rather than blurred i believe this to give the best effects on the deeper meaning of the importance of the historical features. From the image its suggests that there is a much slower shutter speed due to the slight feature that lead to the conclusion of over exposure. The photograph leads to the connotations of the idea that the image has high sensitivity, this is seen through the lack of graininess.

Conceptual/ Contextual:

The idea behind this image is that it is a representation of the beauty and historical aspects of the stunning current location. Using the natural aspects of nature through the greenery of the grass and trees, next to the huge grainy rocks that holds the historical feelings of the island and portrays the significance. The deeper meaning of the image holds the similar feeling as the conceptual aspect, as the rocks itself has deeper meaning into the historical aspect of stones adding further connotations.
