TREES

Trees are more than landscape elements—they are living, breathing organisms that shape our world in countless ways. They provide shade and shelter, fuel for fire, lumber for building, and oxygen for the planet. They stand quietly through time, bearing witness to change, weather, and life itself.

This theme invites you to explore trees in all their forms: as solitary subjects or forests, as textures and details, as abstract shapes or powerful symbols. You may focus on bark, branches, roots, or canopy, or on the relationship between trees and their environment.

Strong composition is essential, but it is light that truly defines the image. Light sets the mood, creates emotion, and reveals character—whether soft and contemplative, dramatic and bold, or quiet and mysterious. Consider how direction, quality, and contrast of light influence how the tree is perceived.
