The Lens Artists Challenge is hosted this week by Patti.
Per her: “You can think of the frame as the edge of a photograph, or the edges of the viewfinder that you use when you raise the camera to your eye. The advice to fill the frame means to get in close, and make sure your subject occupies a significant amount of space in your shot.
All these were taken yesterday. Only one of the series has been cropped.
First, un-fulfilling:
Zoom-zoom. Filled:
One and done. Bridge over un-troubled waters:
Silky waters, hand-held, uncropped:
Same photo, cropped, less busy:
Have an itch? Scratch it. Hemingway would be jealous. (The Old Man and the Sea.) Zoomed:
Less is more. Enjoy.
What a difference between your 2 butterfly shots! Beautiful colors and patterns in that butterfly. The impact of the running stream is also heightened with the crop. Great examples of before and after, John.

Those butterflies are fab! Also, nothing like a good stream! Hope that young man caught some good stuff :-).

Beautiful capture John! My slow internet had trouble loading which happens at my end when photos are set to largest size on WP, but what I saw was gorgeous, love the stream close up and butterfly close up.

Thank you. Always the dilemma, large so you can zoom and play, or small and somewhat dull, IMO.

I can see the bridge now in my reader and that look beautiful too.
