The two images of Ansel Adams’ above have similar characteristics of my image below. There are a wide variety of tonal values in all images, my image perhaps has less greys and only a sharp contrast between almost pure white and pure black. My image has less definition/ is not in as sharp as a focus, this could be changed by changing the aperture setting, which secures greater depth of field (i.e. Ansel Adams often shot in an aperture setting of f64). My image is also really intriguing to me as the perception of the image presents itself as an optical illusion, with some questioning over what the image actually is, whether it be a close up photo of roots or trees from afar, Adams’ image of roots gives this same effect where the tangled roots look almost scalic and alive rather than just being roots.
