The main subject is too close to center; and the strong blue (in contrast to the yellow oranges) makes the whole arrangement very heavy on the left (especially for such a delicate subject). So - by cropping a bit off the the right (it works - I tried it) say right up to that delicate little neutral gray leaf in the lower right; the composition becomes much more solid in its feeling of balance. hope that clarifies Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Oct 7, 2010, at 3:18 PM, Adam Bridge wrote: > George could you clarify what you're suggesting please?
