Day Twenty-Five: KISS

As in Keep It Simple Stupid.  I am three weeks into this project and each day I have a plan to go somewhere, set something up, find someone to sit in front of my camera...But part of being a good photographer is being able to use the simplest of subjects in compelling ways.  Here, some dry brown foliage, sitting against the bright sky and some distant branches makes a simple sketch.  I used split toning (an old process for adding color to monochrome prints) in Lightroom to get the green tones which are soothing and seem well suited to the subject and composition.

So much of being a better photographer is embedded in seeing the possibilities and then composing to realize them.  And my goal for today was to shoot something simple in a compelling way.  I am quite pleased with the result.  Hope you like it too.
