Simplify Your Images
A Quick Tip for Today – Simplify Your Images
Many images suffer as a result of there being too much detail included in the shot and end up being cluttered and with too many points of interest.
Next time you are about to hit the shutter – scan your potential image and ask yourself if there is an alternative framing that you could use that could remove some of the distractions and increase the impact of your main subject?
In many circumstances simply using a tighter cropping or shooting from a different angle will help achieve this.
Here are a few more ’simple’ or ‘minimalistic’ shots. Take some of your own and drop by our forums to show us what you take.

Here’s one that I took a few months ago. It has gone through the ‘DPS Critics’ Scan’ ;-).

Now this “plant” has quite a few more leaves and has lost the ‘lonely’ look.
