This picture is very pleasing and beautiful to me. There is a lot of meaning behind it and it excites me when I try and figure out what it is trying to say. To me it tells a story of something man made and powerful being over taken by nature as if it doesn't approve.

The first thing that stands out to me is that the balance is very symmetrical, with the space ship in the center and equal amounts of dark, cloudy sky on each side. It has a low color intensity because the colors do not have much strength, they seem to blend into each other.

The contrast of this image gives it an isolated feel. The shape of the rocket combined with the consuming vegetation seems to be creating a mountain shape. Most of the image seems to have a rough texture giving it an aged look. You can tell that the ship has been sitting there for a long time. You get sense of the size of the ship with the placement of the man/woman on the horse.

I love that this picture illustrates this high tech, man made structure being over taken by nature. It is even being witnessed by the person on the horse. This image seems to pull everything together with it's color, space, balance, and texture.
