Picture of the Week – Big and Small

Big and Small

One of the things that make a good picture according to the people who write books about making good pictures is the use of symmetry, similarity and contrast. I don’t always try to compose using those “rules”, but on occasion, I do spot an opportunity to juxtapose elements and every now and then, it seems to work out really well. This was the case with this shot. The flowers were part of the ground cover and the Palms are, well feature trees, so when I spotted them together, I thought there might be something to shoot and sure enough, it turned out well. The UWA certainly helped to get everything in the frame, so I guess every now and again those “rules” actually can be put to good use.
