This photograph was shot by Amelia Lyon and is set in a sunny field on a summer evening. I was first drawn to this image because of the striking white dress and white horse against the sunny green background. 

This photograph has three clear sections to it, the foreground, where the lady is leading her horse and the surrounding grass, the hill in the mid ground and the skyline in the background. These three sections ascend upwards and get lighter in colour. The lady is central in the image and the horse off center to the left, making the lady the main focal point of the photograph. Your eye is drawn from the focal point and then left to the horse and then again upwards to the skyline.

There is a lot of light in this image, natural light is used and is coming from the right side of the photo and behind the camera. There is a broad depth of field in this image, lots of light is let in to create focus on the whole image.

There is high contrast lighting used in this picture, the sky and background is very light and bright and the grass in the foreground is very dark and shadowed. There is also a warm feeling to the photo because of the sunlight giving the picture a slight yellow hue.

A long shot is used to create this landscape photograph, this way you get more whole objects in the image and a longer skyline.
