Principle of Design [Morning Dew]
The Principles of Design are great tools to use to organize your photo. There are six different categories, including Pattern, Balance and the Rule of Thirds, Unity and Variety, Movement and Rhythm, and Emphasis. For this photo I used the principle of Emphasis. I really tried to highlight the morning dew that formed on the open petals of this colorful leaf. I focused on the idea of capturing the feel of the photo and tried to leave the background up for interpretation.
Taking this photo I remember the brisk chill of the morning air, the ground still wet with the nights showers. I stumbled upon this small object as I was perched on top of a large rock, when something caused me to fall into the brush I immediately snagged the opportunity to take the picture.

ReplyDeleteThis is truly an amazing photo! I love how clear everything is up close on the leaf but then in the background it is blurry. Great depth of field and emphasis.
