Contrast, Harmony, and Balance

I chose this image to represent Contrast, Balance, and Harmony. The first thing you notice when looking at the image is the Arch, undoubtedly. However as tall and as large as this man made structure is, the parallel of the sky behind, above and below it is just as compelling. The contrast it creates is due to the massive amount of architecture displayed in the image, but yet also the undeniable greatness of the sky. The balance is also visually apparent because of how much space is being divided between the two objects. And the harmony created un this photo is of course, the black, white and shades of gray dispersed throughout. Harmony is also established just n the way the lens of the camera is pointing up towards the top of the arch, and the sky. It creates a line for the viewer to follow.
