Beach Flowers

 In the September of 2019, my family went to the beach along with some family friends. I've always loved the beach. I feel like the beach presents a great location to bring natural beauty to life and provide great opportunities to take photos, similar to the one below. I took this photo from the perspective of one flower overlooking the other flowers as well as the blue sky-immerging beach over the toe-warming sand.

Composition:

The focus of this photo is on the flowers in the center. This focus allows the beach in the background and the flowers right in front of the camera to be blurred. During the process of taking this photo, I used the Rule of Thirds. The flowers are framed to the right and bottom instead of the center, which adds depth to the photo. Additionally, the line of flowers in comparison to the shoreline is diagonal. This adds a "border" to the image. In order to make this border look appealing, the flowers are touching both sides of the frame. If the flowers were to only touch one side and not the other, the photo would lack its "border" as it wouldn't define one specific section of the photo, but rather look like an unwanted subject. And finally, natural sunlight was used in this photo. The shadows show that the light was casted from the upper right.
