Flowers by Large Rock
Friday, August 31st, 2007
Another urban landscape. The large rock and the flowers take up about the lower third of the image frame. Also, the rock acts like a bridge helping the eye along between the two clumps of plants.

Black Eyed Susans Around a Wall
Thursday, August 30th, 2007
These flowers are basically a composition of triangles. The yellow flowers across the bottom get thinner to the right forming a triangular shape. The slope of the line of flowers adds a dynamic quality to the photo. The imaginary diagonal line formed by the yellow flowers at the bottom leave a triangular space just above. Kind of like two interlocking teeth. The rectangular wall at the top forms a horizontal line giving the image some stability. If it were too dynamic our eyes would run off the edge of the photograph or dance around with no place to rest upon.
Rosy Sedum Starting to Change Color
Tuesday, August 28th, 2007
Here’s a photograph of the rosy sedum just beginning to change color. I wanted to get as close as this camera would let me to show the mixture of the little tips of color and the ones that haven’t changed yet. The stem of the central flower forms a diagonal line leading your eye to the bottom of the photograph. The partial flower in the lower right corner catches your eye and keeps it in the photograph. Also the other partial flowers showing help to frame the central flower.
Boy Statue
Monday, August 27th, 2007
Here’s a cute little statue of what I can only call a little boy watering the garden with a hose. I left a little open area on the right where the boy is looking so it wouldn’t be too cramped. The main reason I photographed it from this angle was to get the flowers in the image along with the boy.
Orange and Purple Flowers

The edge of the flower bed forms a straight diagonal line leading the eye across the photograph. The blooms are in rounded clusters giving the eye someplace to rest.
