Patterns, form, and texture are some of the key elements of good composition. Here are some examples from my favorite local garden.

    I love taking photos of frost or snow on plants. Thanks for thinking outside the box w/your camera!

    Quite a few minnows in the water near the cattails. Good photos as usual.

    Great photos! I like number three because it shows the light coming through the translucent leaves, sort of like stained glass.

    I love these. You have a very special eye not only to see these things but to let us see them as well. Thanks.

    I like all of them, but my favorites are the first, fifth, sixth and seventh. They're absolutely amazing. You have a real eye for design.

    There is much artistry involved with taking memorable photographs. The color and composition in the photos within your slideshow makes me want to go through them again and be more observant the next time around! rcj
