Happy Belated Thursday - Great subjects are only a backyard away. One of the first important lessons I learned in making my photography better was to fill the frame with the subject. Using the edges of the outside frame and making the subject the sole focus of the picture brought a more dynamic composition to even the simplest of subjects. Once I had turned this corner, I found that I could make images that were interesting to me almost anywhere, including my parents' backyard. This stone cherub sits atop a small water feature in their garden. I was drawn to the texture of the stone in the face, and I used a rule of thirds approach to the composition (along with filling the frame) to create this image. This is one of my oldest black and whites, but one that I still enjoy viewing. Enjoy your belated Thursday -
