Path of light, St Michaels Mount.

A dark moody day in West Cornwall. The light catches the puddles in a field and leads the eye towards the brooding silhouette of St Michaels Mount. Part of a project I am doing on Gestalt theory of how the mind works when looking at images. Here I am exploring the idea of figure-ground relationship which can also be thought of as subject- background and creating a clear distinction between the subject which in this case is the light catching the puddles leading to St Michaels Mount (figure) and the background which I plunged into darkness.
