This old tree is surrounded by a very soft shade of lavender columbine. The columbine thrive in this spot as you can see by the profusion of blooms.

Nice.

And I like that you included the trunk in the background to provide some added visual interest and contrast and strengthen your composition.


Caveats?

If at all possible.. coming around to the left to include the full bloom that merges/exits the left-hand side/frame.. would elevate your photo here that bit more in my humble opinion.

Splitting the difference.. in camera perspectives, between the two blooms, and simply put (I think?).

Or..

Moving in closer.. maintaining the same perspective to eliminate the merger with the left-hand side border/frame of the other dominant bloom (more or less) in frame.

Here's a cropped version to illustrate: Lavender Columbine - Cropped.


Make no mistake about the words and suggestions above.. this is a lovely photo. And reiterating.. the inclusion and placement of the trunk in the background makes for a strong composition as is and presented.


Thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

+favs for me.
