What guided this image
Landmarks
Buffalo Bayou Park; Eleanor Tinsley Park; the distinctive post-modern architecture of downtown Houston; Menil Collection and Rothko Chapel; Buffalo Bayou and White Oak Bayou; lush Gulf Coast flora; Gulf Coastal Plain
Viewpoint
Favor the classic viewpoint from Eleanor Tinsley Park looking east across Buffalo Bayou toward the downtown skyline, showing live oak branches and grassy mounds in the foreground, the winding bayou channel, pedestrian trails, and Sabine Street Bridge in the middle-ground, and the soaring post-modern towers of downtown Houston rising against the soft sky in the background.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the thick canopies of live oaks, baldcypress trees along Buffalo Bayou, and the manicured grassy slopes of Eleanor Tinsley Park.
