My eye was first caught with the colours here. The gold of the ragwort weed and the blue and gold of the scrapyard van.So I took some experimenatal shots to see if this scene would lend itself to a graphic interpretation.

hi Bev i have to agree with you here the colours realy blend well to make a very nice scene well spotted and tfs
regards bryan

Hello Bev,

On the positive aspect there are triangles and diagonals aplenty here, and a fine contrast between the yellow of the ragwort and the dark blue of the background.

The rusty piece of wire adds another element of interest.

However the very central position of the main flower head means that the picture does not quite hit the button compositionally for me.

I've tried a bit of workshopping on the image – mainly with cropping in mind – but I don’t seem to be able to come up with an alternative that is any improvement.

Was this a crop from a larger original image? If so, it might be possible to come up with an alternative crop that puts the main object of interest closer to a line of thirds. [I know this is "techie", but I think it's often the key to a satisfying composition]

Incidentally, I see that this image is named "img_2057rawtl.jpg" - does this mean you are shooting in RAW?

Kind regards,

Peter.
