gerrymorgan 0 Posted November 8, 2008 From the thumbnail, I thought perhaps you had desaturated everything except the flowers to black and white. In fact, your photo is much more subtle than that. I love how the bright red of the flowers contrasts with the subdued colours of the grass and trees. The shapes in the clouds remind me of the cutout paper shapes that Matisse sometimes worked with. I really love the contrast between the vibrant flowers and the cold sky. I wonder about a square crop. losing the right quarter of the frame. This would put the fountain in a stronger position and anchor the viewer's eye on the foreground flowers. I find my eye drifting over to the right, where the both the sky and the bush are less interesting. It would mean losing some (but not all) of the red in the bush on the right, but it might be worth it. With or without the crop, I like this photo a lot. Link to comment
