lens-artists: focus on the subject

As I was strolling around the neighborhood garden, I was drawn to these 3 blossoms which would have been ideal for last week’s challenge: Rule of Thirds.

This image was created using selective focus and negative space.

Thank you Patti for this compositional challenge … the invitation to review compositional guidelines and then to walk with eyes wide open with a lens-artists’ companion “to focus” … heaps of fun!

lens artists: perfect pairs

This week Albatz Travel Adventures (Elizabatz) invites photographers to offer examples of diptych, two images placed in proximity to one another, forming a pair. She notes: “to make a successful pairing there should be several things in common, and something very different, contrasting”.

I wish to thank Elizabeth for introducing me to the word diptych. Earlier this week, I also became acquainted with the word, polyglots, “individuals who can speak several languages – usually having a grasp of at least somewhere between 3-5 languages.
