Large Highlights

Tonal Framework comparison

Here are all the Landscape selections with their 5 stop tonal frameworks, ordered in size of the sky, or highlights - first the small highlights and then the large ones.

ALLEGRAIN:
The people do not stand out, but the temple and sky does.

There is a general framing towards the centre of the image.

MORLAND:
The horse is contrasted against the background, but not the rider or second horse.

The framing moves one towards the sky and then back to the horse.

The framework enforces a diagonal composition.

LEICKERT:
The tonal framework does not focus the eye, the water and town does, but I suppose that the cloud behind the steeple acts as a magnet.
HACKERT:
The waterfall draws the eye and the sky is insignificant in comparison.
KOCH:
Ones eye is lead to the far mountains before coming back to the detail.
RUBENS:
Just weird - the rainbow and bright cloud grabs all the initial attention.
ABBATE:
You are lead from the dark foreground and the people into the distance.

Great framing(?).

LECOMTE:
The initial detail on the left keeps you away from the sky and far hills.

You are left searching for the detail of the picture.
