Color Points

I love looking at a fabulous photograph and pulling the colors out to form a natural palette of color. Mother Nature knows it best when it comes to coordinating color points. 


A photograph of Antelope Island, The Great Salt Lake, Utah
 by Scott Mansfield. See his other work at Mountain Over Water.

The soft hues of the photograph creates a wonderful, layered scope of combining soft and sharp brown tones with the subtle gray, sage green mist of the water to the ominous blue sky. Earthy. So serene and simply lovely.

Another photograph of Antelope Island, The Great Salt Lake, Utah

At first glance this photograph looks to have two zones - ecru and blue. This time the island blends into the lake matching the sky within a brilliant blue territory.  I love the rusty reds at the base of the seasonal flora sitting on a landscape of soft, downy grasses.  Could almost be translated into denim, khaki, and reds - my favorite color combo. Wonderful contrast.
