Ansel Adams: Bridal Veil



I love this picture. I think it is explosive with the water as a rushing force that illuminates a seemingly serene scene. It reminds me of an actual waterfall that I have visited. I was enamoured with the natural effect.

I especially like the way that the water appears to be conquering the forest. I think that powerful images such as these are breathtaking and I am really glad that we are taking a look at them.

I would of liked to see the picture in full color just because the forest must of been lush with greenery and the cliffs' detailed ridges. I can also see the rule of threes. I like the lighting effects on the waterfall from above and through the framing of the trees. I also really like the name and symbolic effect.
