I took this photo on campus as the sun was going down. I really like how the light is a warm, golden light that highlights what it falls on. The colors are brighter and more vivid in areas where the sun is shining, such as sections of the grass and bricks. The tree in the front is a great example of this as it demonstrates most clearly the contrast between the sunlight and shadows. The shadows created by the light cast on the trees creates lines and movement. The branches of the tree are dark and are dispersed among the bright blue sky. The shadows evoke a peaceful feeling as they hint at the sun setting, but also contrast the happier mood created by the sunlight and bright colors.
I like the shadows in this photo too, especially how the light comes at the front tree from a front angle and casts a shadow of the tree on the grass behind it. The soft shadows give the photo a calm atmosphere along with the dimmer light of the setting sun.
