In this image I am to look at two images and make some notes on the differences.
The initial image of the gate with the city-scape behind it is quite restrictive. The viewer is forced to focus on what the photographer has chosen as the central component of the image as opposed to choosing our own item of interest. We are not aware of what surrounded the photographer or what other options the artist had in the creation of the image.
The cityscape in comparison if a lot more immersive. There is far more to the viewer to explore. The telephoto lens means that a lot more of the landscape has been crammed into the frame. I find images like this very interesting to explore visually, there are so many endless details to focus in on. The telephoto lens also allows the viewer to make more sense of an area and the situation in the far ground, the near ground is removed completely.
