Wonderful capture Rob.
I really like the purple it really stands out with the yellow.

Hmm but im thinking maybe that it would look better without all of the leafs in the background? Did you try to crop the shot in different ways? #724819

Isabel,
Thanks for your comment. I really did'nt try to crop this in any way. I wanted to get the Iron fence in the background in this shot. So for balance I had to shoot it the way it is. Also I am not just shooting Fine Art. Some of my work is intended to be marketed as editorial stock. If this were to be used as a cover shot for a magazine,the editor would need some space for print.If you look at the cover of a magazine you will see that the flowers usually don't cover the entire page.Just a part of the page. I hope this answers your question.Thanks again for your comment. Rob Valine #726591
