Description
Morinomichi C — Path to the Forest C — is the third variation in the forest path approach series, capturing the open ground between the viewer and the forested destination. The approach rather than the interior of the forest presents a different compositional problem: the open foreground, the treeline as horizon, and the path as connective tissue between viewer and destination. The "C" variation indicates Fujita is refining the compositional approach, perhaps varying the proportion of open ground to forest in each iteration.
