Photo Observation #7

3) THEME: Portrait or Strong Central Figure

4) So I don’t like HDR photography but the lighting coming from the up-right light was too good to pass up.  I found it hard to find photos with such dynamic lighting from multiple sources—everything I found either had a rather general flat sort of daytime lighting, or were a single light source with intense shadowing.  HDR usually serves to reduce or even eliminate the more interesting shadows in a photo, but this particular composition retains distinct shape and locations of the light, partially due to the slightly foggy air.  The tree adds nice texture to the yellow light, though this is only visible on the ground, and not particularly the subject.
