Winters Isolation

There seems to be no direction to the light that blankets the bare branches of these trees. It is this lack of directional light that helps in promoting a feeling of isolation and loneliness. Black trunks contrast the stark flat background, and also contributes to the intense emotional feeling. Light or the lack of light is often overlooked as a necessary element in a solid composition. In fact it may be the most important part.
