I captured this photo with my smartphone camera on a calm afternoon, when the sky looked gray, yet it evoked a peaceful atmosphere that's hard to describe in words. Before my eyes lay a natural landscape: the calm flow of the river, the green grass growing wildly along its banks, and the trees standing proudly, as if guarding the harmony of nature around them.
Moments like this often escape our attention, busy with our daily routines. Yet, beneath the simplicity of the landscape lies a serenity that can soothe the heart and mind. The green of the leaves reflecting off the water's surface, combined with the overcast sky, creates a perfect natural composition for a photography enthusiast.
In taking this photo, I tried to capture the reflections on the water's surface to create a sense of natural symmetry. I also utilized the soft lighting of the cloudy sky, which created a neutral color tone, allowing all elements in the photo to appear harmoniously unified.
For me, photography isn't just about capturing visual beauty; it's also about capturing feelings a sense of peace, gratitude, and awe for God's creation. Every time I look at this photo, I'm reminded to take a moment, step away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and reconnect with nature.
📸 I took this photo with my smartphone camera and edited it using Photoshop Express to balance the contrast and highlight the natural colors of the vegetation around the river.
