For our bathroom remodel project, we had to use a color scheme from nature as inspiration. I selected this National Geographic photo of the Serengeti in Tanzania. The photographers at National Geographic are quite skilled, and therefore this photo demonstrates many qualities that make it appealing.
First of all, it utilizes the rule of thirds. The bottom third is composed of the grass. The middle third is composed of the trees, fog, and mountains. Lastly, the top third is composed of the clouds. This element helps to make the photo quite balanced.
This photo also creates contrast between the linear, horizontal orientation, and the organic lines created by the tree branches.
More contrast is created through the light colors of the sky and the harsh darkness of the trees. However, the layering effect created by the fog, trees, and mountains helps to make the photo harmonious.
