Dan Tom, Photographer, San Francisco

About

This vertical composition by photographer and graphic designer Dan Tom captures a tranquil park scene featuring uniquely pruned spherical trees with gnarled, twisting trunks. A simple wooden bench with metal legs is positioned in the lower left corner on a paved walkway, looking out toward the garden. The ground beneath the trees is covered in a mulch bed, bordered by low concrete edging and manicured green boxwood hedges. In the background, a light-colored stone wall with architectural detailing runs horizontally across the frame under warm daylight. The natural textures of the aged tree bark contrast with the precise, rounded foliage above.
