Photography 101

The Challenge

The horizon is the is the apparent line that separates earth from sky. At many locations, the true horizon is obscured by nearby trees, buildings, mountains and so forth. The resulting intersection of earth and sky is instead described as the visible horizon.

In visual art, the horizon line should not divide the art work in two equal parts but be positioned to emphasize either the sky or ground; showing more sky if photo is of clouds, sun rise/set, and more ground if a landscape.

Judging / Voting Criteria

Vote for the images that best display the composition of horizons. I would like you to show me photos of lanscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, etc, that have the horizon placed above the midpoint to emphasize the land, or below the midpoint to emphasize the sky.
