Photo taken by Douglas Triggs
I really like this photo because of the clear use of the use of frame as described by John Szarkowski. The main subject of the photo is clearly the snow-topped peaks. However, instead of just taking a plain picture of them, he surrounds them by Siamese Twins rock formation in the Garden of Gods in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Its really the frame of this picture that has the most effect on the eye. The contrast of the brick colored rocks with the green of the mountains and the white snow-covered peaks allows for a spectrum of color that is very appealing to me.
