Clover.
Purple spikey stuff. (Two kinds; see the paler one in the background?)
Sky!
Small purple creeping stuff.
Roses. Spent, and not.
These Downtown Home & Garden roses are some of my favorite captures in a while.
If you click on the pic to embiggen, you can see a teensy spider web.....
I believe this is yarrow.
This has a ranunculusy look, but a different habit.

Hi Miss Vicki,
You are the best "framer" of shots!
You got the composition thing goin' on!
I embiggened, and couldn't see the spider. I saw the web...
must be really really teensy
[blush] :-)
Of course every one of these images was cropped in post-processing.....
Cropping can really make a pic.....
I coudl'nt see the spider, either. Just the web. And I didn't see that until I got it up on "the big screen."
That last ranunculusy thing ... I did some serious tilting to get the three stem lines going the way I wanted...........
I SOooooooooooO love being able to mess with my pics like I can with Photoshop Elements..............
:-)
Cropping = framing, doesn't it? :)
I just read the cropping post, and totally agree with everything you said about bringing the viewer to see what you found interesting.
(I like the next to last one)
Elephants? Photoshop has elephants??? I did not know that...
Sometimes I think of cropping as removing everything that isn't interesting.
I am all about what is distracting, and about removing that, too. Cropping is my favorite way to remove stuff, but I'll clone over stuff, or darken (or lighten), or whatever, to remove stuff that catches the eye but isn't my point....
I like that next-to-last one, and am also quite fond of the last one. That tender tiny sprig of buds gets me.... And I love that in contrast with the jaggedy leaf.
Of COURSE it has elephants; no wonder I love it so. Duh.
;-)
Thinking about how people complain about other people Photoshopping images.
I mean. If the point is to document something, then, ok, one shouldn't fake the document.
But if the point is to come up with the best image....................
Every trick in the book, I say.
ps -- yes, agreeing with you, cropping = framing. Just a more deliberate pensive intentional way than the way I take pics. :-) I can generally see what's on the camera's viewscreen well enough to do some framing in camera. Unless it's too sunny, and then, well, I just take a lot and hope for the best. Once they're up on the big screen, though ... then I can SEE them, and I can diddle with them as long as I like........
:-)
