To Be Or Not To Be Simple

Why do I make posting for a simplicity theme not so simple? Do I choose follow the masses and post about the simple beauties in life. As there are many that have not yet been shared with you all, or do I follow my heart and post what I feel.

Well …..the choice is simple, my heart always wins.

This is a competition photo. Each month I enter a Set Subject Competition. This month the subject was “Lamps and Lanterns”. An accredited judge’s critiques all the in images in the competition. After listing to judge’s comments for the passed 2 years I know that simplicity makes the best photos. A judge will always say get in close, avoid distracting backgrounds and most importantly have a single theme running through your photo so the viewer knows exactly what the image is about and where to look in the image.

This photo won first place in my competition and allow me to take out the highest aggregate score of the year in this Set Subject Comp. I think I might even get a trophy on awards night but that’s not to early December.

So my message is simple, simplify you life and your photos.
