52 Week Photography Challenge 2013: Week One Monthly Theme: Composition
Botanical Kauai
I’ve started up with a new Photography Challenge over on Michael The Maven’s web site. This is my Week One entry. The theme for this month is Compositional Rules.
I shot this on the Island of Kauai in December. When I was shooting, I had the Rule of Thirds in mind as I was framing it up. I purposely left the lower right corner “empty”. In post, I did crop just a bit to bring the white flower in line with the Golden Spiral, and the rest of the photo more in line with the Rule of Thirds. I did do a bit of tweaking with clarity and vibrance in Lightroom 4. I added the white frame in Photoshop, where I also sized it for posting.
