Balance, Contrast and Harmony

Balance: The first thing that comes to mind when I think about the balance of this photo is how symmetrical it is. The colorful sky reflects beautifully off of the water. At the same time the reflection in the water brings a whole new way of viewing the sky as it adds texture from the debris or mud that is in the water.

Contrast: This rust orange color is similar to the color of the sky when the sun is either rising or setting, it can be seen at dawn or just before night fall. With that being said, looking at this photograph almost makes you feel like you're lost in time. Is the day starting or is it ending? I think it's quite fascinating.

Harmony: Between the contrast and the balance, I would agree that the photograph would be an explicit example of harmony. The reflection of the sky in the water give you a sense of peace. And as you look out into the distance it makes you wonder what else is beyond the horizon. It's almost as if you were placed right into the photograph, looking into the distance from the shore.
