Delicate Blue Flower




Here is a photo that initially doesn't look particularly good. There are way too many weeds in the picture. I cropped out just the one blue flower with the old stump as a background. Now the shadows from the grass allows this photo to have more depth.

I have purposely not enhanced this photo in any other way. I just want to demonstrate how cropping a picture can make a difference in its composition. Play around with your photos. You may be amazed at the different look and feel you can get. That is the art of photography. You are the artist.

Three picture photo arrangement


Picture arrangements don't have to be intimidating. They can be fun, because you get to choose what you want. As in this example, I'm matching both a topic along with a blue colored theme. I'd first suggest you start by working with your favorite color. My favorite color is blue which made it easy for me to use ocean views as a theme.

Acquiring fine art for your home or office can be affordable. For example, in this arrangement, I have one 14"x11" and two 5"x7" prints. Matting for these sizes of prints can be purchased at any hobby/craft store and frames are easy to get. For a 5"x7" mat, you'd need to get a 8"x10" frame. And for the 14"x11" mat, the frame is 16"x20".
These prints are for sale on my storefront.
