I chose this image for snapshot day because it holds a special meaning to me. I live in Washington Heights and every time I go for a walk, I go through Riverside Park. During my walk in Riverside Park, I always pass through the George Washington Bridge. The area where I captured this picture is where I usually go when I have to relieve some stress or just need to relax. This view helps me to feel calm and it just brings peace to me. I like to look at the bridge and the river beneath it. I like how New Jersey is on the other side and I just overall love the view.
As I was taking this picture, I kept in mind the rule of thirds and position. I tried to position the end of the bridge on the top right third and the tree on the bottom left third I think that this adds to the picture and helps create an interesting distance from the bridge to the tree, where I was standing, I also used position by making sure that I didn’t put too much of the tree, river, or bridge. I put only the leaves of the tree, a certain amount of river, and almost the entire bridge, but not completely. I also kept in mind that the cars are going towards the end of the bridge, and I made sure to leave enough space at the end of the bridge for the cars to go in to.
