If these things appeared in my garden I would declare them a noxious weed and rip them out of the ground in a heartbeat. Let them grow beside the highway and they're a sight for sore eyes. Pretty as a picture, I call them Ruby Redsocks; I wonder what name the horticulturists have for them.
I have been waiting for baseball season to start so I could post this. I was born in Boston but never went to a game in Fenway. It was a bucket list item for me. Once inside I could not stay in my seat. I also, apparently, could not follow the rules. This image was taken from a restricted area, well, restricted if you sat in the cheap seats where I was. As I was on my stadium walkabout, the sunset started to kick off. Thats how I knew it was OK for me to break the rules, that and the fact that I was born in Boston and this was my one chance to see a game in Fenway, so I could do whatever I wanted. :)
Here I used the super wide angle to full benefit. I waited for someone to walk down the staircase so I could have a bit of a focal point. Its a busy scene, yes. So I tried to tame that with strategic use of contrast, focus, and color. Hopefully when you look you don't see chaos, hopefully you the stairs, then the girl, then the field which then, hopefully, takes you to the edge of the eye, the seats, and up to the sunset. Hopefully. Or, you can just enjoy the image. At any rate I hope you hear the crack of the bat and smell the hot dogs. I still can when I see this image.
Let me know what you think.
