Many times the key factor of a great photograph comes from it having strong composition. Yes, the story is important but, without strong composition the story gets lost I think.
The inspiration for it came to me when I was out for a walk with my wife and dog, and saw this out from the corner of my eye. The story here is that I love how this moment says new life that brings hope. The colors are catchy and a favorite of many.
I used negative space composition, which is a basic, but often overlooked principle of design, that gives the eye a "place to rest," increasing the appeal through subtle means. This together with the square format, makes this suitable for framing with a wider matboard.
This image is a part of my Phoneography Project that you may know I've been doing to produce images that have been put through its paces by a forty-year professional lensmen.
I made this with an iPhone 5s, with the Flcikr App camera, and processed also with the Flickr App.

Amid a sunny interlude on a cloudy afternoon in early spring, I photographed the green rolling hills of Halls Valley from atop a hill near the White Barn. My timing was advantageous; minutes later, the sun retired behind the clouds for the day, rendering the scene dark and gloomy. By summer, the grass in this valley dies, and these beautiful green hills turn to shades of tan and brown. Halls Valley lies at the western foot of Mt. Hamilton, a few miles east of San Jose, CA. This pastoral setting is part of 9,560 acre Joseph D. Grant County Park, where cows graze and wild boars roam freely. The area was first inhabited by Werwersen Ohlone Indians. The valley is named after attorney Frederic Hall (1825-1898), who was paid with this land by his client Jose Bernal to process and file land claims to fulfill the requirements of the Federal Land Act of 1851. Hall was also an author, journalist, and an authority on trade, property, agrarian and water rights, mines, contracts, and inheritances that applied in the Mexican context as well as in the territories ceded to the United States.

Photo of the day March 13, 2021 - Flowering tree. The photo was taken from the yard of the property where my wife and I reside. The tree is in a neighbor's yard.
My backyard was full of surprise this past April! Even with all the strange weather we had these hardy daffodils just kept blooming! I love springtime flowers.

Hello Joey…..So this is where you come to be on your own ….To weigh things up….And wonder about the wind of change that runs through your life……But really..…That how life is……Never will it stands still…….Why, Just Look around you ……What do you see…..That’s right ….Spring has arrived…..Which gives us a sure sign of how beautiful life can be……Yet in truth …I never needed spring to tell me that….All I needed was to look at you…
It’s Iris Time: My backyard garden has now added these gorgeous, velvety, frilly purple Irises. They are opening a few at a time. I’ll be adding more to this album as they continue to open and flourish until the whole Iris patch has opened❣️Photo images credited to Vickie L Klinkhammer of Vickielynne Photography and Designs (VLP&Designs)
Apesar que a música fala em folhas no outono, isto não importa se estamos na primavera, esta sem dúvida é uma das músicas mais lindas do planeta. Esta versão é cantada por Eric Clapton.
Autumn Leaves
The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold
Since you went away the days grow long
And soon I'll hear old winter's song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall
C'est une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu m'aimais et je t'aimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que m'aimais moi qui t'aimais.
Mais la vie sépare ceux qui s'aiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit.
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall.
Springtime in the valley of the old locks, showing the entrance to the old (now decomissioned) locks from year 1800, which cut through the cliff.
This is my favorite part of the year...going outside & taking pictures of all our trees that are just budding out.
Pierre August Cot French, 1837-1883
Springtime
Oil on canvas
Signed and dated (lower Left): P+A+COT+1873
Cot, who received his academic training at the hands of Bouguereau, Cabanel, and Léon Cogniet, first exhibited at the Salon of 1863. For the next two decades he enjoyed success as a painter of allegorical and historical pictures and as a fashionable portraitist. This painting remains Cot’s most celebrated work. It was exhibited to great acclaim at the Salon of 1873, which also featured Bouguereau’s Nymphs and Satyr (L2012.29). John Wolfe bought both paintings after the close of the Salon and hung them side-by-side in his stately Manhattan residence.
A visitor to the Wolfe home described the flirtatious duo in Springtime as “in the most dangerous and inflammable of the teens…The cunning eagerness with which the maid looks right into the boy’s eyes is modern in meaning and antique in dress; hence the acceptability of this Arcadian idyll, peppered with French spice.”
