** Example of a submission **

The photographer captured the image in soft light. Therefore, the level of contrast that is observed in the image is low. Nonetheless, there is plenty of texture that can be seen in the boulders. This indicates that the light was coming from the left side when the photograph was taken.

This image could be considered an example of an art photograph because the soft side light envelopes the boulders, that are main subjects in the image and the photographer achieved a sense of depth despite the soft light.
