In this album cover, The Sounds of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel, several key elements are used to show depth, space, and scale. Linear perspective is the first element I noticed. The road both men are on is on the left side of the frame, and converges in the upper left corner. The convergence point creates a sense of depth and space. Texture gradient also adds to the perception of space; the road is more detailed with dirt and texture closer and fades away slowly. The end point of the road is unclear, and is mostly a grayish texture with no detail. The overall composition of the photo uses the clear relative size of the two men in front of the road/hillside to create a scene of depth and space.
