Ferns on Parade

This was an image taken during an exercise in Freeman Patterson’s gardens. We were each given a spot in the garden and not allowed to move until we had taken ‘good’ 10 images. This was later in my 10 and the best of the bunch.

Here are my notes from the image review by Freeman Patterson. The reviews always worked from composition to depth of field to exposure (ie CDE).

Review: The composition is two rectangles of basically equal size. There is a green rectangle on the bottom and dark rectangle on top. The composition is not static because of it is broken up by the line of in focus fern heads. The magenta floating through the top rectangle adds a touch of magic. The depth of field uses selective focus to simplify the compsootion. The exposure is good.
