For example, a blue sky and blue water will result in a very BLUE photo mosaic! &nbsp;Try taking a photo with some other colors around it or take a photo around the \u201cmagic hour,\u201d sunsets can make for some great source images. It\u2019s a good idea to have a mix of lights and darks. A high contrast landscape can make for an excellent photo mosaic, while an overly dark or light photo can be a difficult source to work with.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope this brings you closer to choosing your landscape source!
