This is another photograph by Jessica Zais, this one included much more colour, which is what first drew to the image. The image is again in a natural environment, this one looking much prettier, but still with an edge of wildness to it. 

The picture is framed with the lady just off centre to the right and looking side on to the camera as if she is walking forwards through the flowers. The lady is the focal point and that explains her positioning in the centre of the picture, with the surrounding flowers complimenting her. 

In the foreground of the photograph are the flowers which continue to spread throughout the entire picture. The flowers that are in the foreground are out of focus which leads you eye up to the mid-ground where the picture becomes more focussed, this is where we find the lady. Her white dress blends in with the flowers but her bright hair, although a similar colour to the flowers, is much brighter and stands out making her more visible. Further back up the picture again is the background which consists of the flowers continued and then fading into a greener foliage in the far background. 

A broad depth of field is used in this particular image, this is apparent because of the small area in the foreground where the flowers are just off focus. The depth of field is effected by light and as this photograph contains a great deal of light it produces this broad depth of field in which a lot of the image is in focus. 

The lighting isn't particularly high contrast as there isn't a huge amount of contrasting shadows. The photograph would have been taken on a bright day, where the sky is bright, therefore letting in light from more than one angle and weakening any shadows. As there is so much light in this image, the lines are crisp and clean, there is not graininess to this photograph and it is in high quality. The photograph has a light feel to it, the pink and white colours indicate a happy and romantic feel which is then reinforced by the lady in a wedding dress. 

The photograph has been taken at eye level and as she looks across the field into the camera, it looks as though she could be looking into the eyes of the groom. This helps create feeling within the viewer by making them feel like she is looking at them.
