This week’s assignment is to use a pattern as a background for a more substantial subject. Hopefully I have managed that with this macro. The bright red of the petals should not overtake the photo. They should instead, first catch the viewer’s attention, and then lead the eye inwards to the main (more substantial) photographic subject of the black and yellow center of the flower.

That is an awesome shot!
Thank you Sue! I just discovered the 3:5 ratio for framing the photo in my editing app. It made all the difference for this shot. 🙂
Oh wait – I responded to the wrong shot! This is the macro of the flower. Thank you!!
That’s an improvement on a couple of my comments – they went to the wrong person! Thanks, Hannah.
