simplicity

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

An eye-catching capture of this flower with its shiny appearance! The shininess gives the flower a sense of rigidness, as if it is made of painted metal. Your DoF works well with your simplicity “theme”.

That is an excellent way to think about photography. We sometimes want to include too much and should pare it down.

Both the shallow dof and the use of negative space have created a perfect image to demonstrate the theme of simplicity.

When I was twelve, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird. He was laying there and something struck me. Why do we call this fun to kill this creature who was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning.

The taint of age can be very beautiful. The wreckage of man-made objects is something more beautiful than the new. Rust and weathering adds a patina of elegant gorp. - Brett Weston said that
