Comparison of Photographs

Ansel Adams
Joshua Thomas Cooper











When first glancing at these photographs, they appear to be very similar in style. The both look like pictures of water taken in different settings at different angles. The photograph taken by Ansel Adams is of a waterfall flowing down a cliff. The photo taken by Thomas Joshua Cooper appears to be of water rushing into a valley. After examining the picture more carefully though, I believe what I originally mistook for water is actually light coming into the scene.
