This photograph was made by Lois Conner in 1986 and is titled Central Park, New York City. I love how the photograph is taken in a natural setting, yet the trees look very unnatural as they bend in all different directions. The bright light shining from behind the trees creates great contrast and although parts of the photograph are dark, the detail in the leaves can be easily seen. What drew me to this photograph the most is the irony in it--the subject of the photograph is trees and three of the trees in the frame seem to spell out the word "elm," a type of tree. I don't know if the photographer saw the word in nature or not, but I think that aspect of the photograph definitely adds interest and question and it caught my eye immediately.
