I found this photo on NationalGeographic.com. It was taken by Jose Azel on March 19, 2009. There wasn't even one thing i did not like about this photo. I like the way it was taken, no one is posing. It is taken from a very unusual angle. My favorite part of this is that I can relate to it. These are skiers that climbed the headwall to ski, and they took a moment to enjoy the warm sun and the cool snow. They are enjoying the little things in life. The lighting is completely natural sun. There is movement and informal balance. Your eye goes from one object to another as it jumps around the picture. I think the emphasis is on the womans bare feet; that is the first thing i saw. I think the photographer is trying to communicate that if you just stop, you can realize the how great the environment around you really is, even if you happen to be climbing a mountain. I think he did a fantastic job communicating his message.
