Avoid distracting background colours that will draw the eye away from the subject.
Red is the worst colour to have as it draws the eye away from the focal point like no other colour.
This little rule breaker works because it's so sneaky, it looks like a normal picy but the background being red (less red now after Techo rubbished it):-) acts as a real counterpoint to the subject. The even spread & look of the background would not compete wiv the dandelions near as much if they weren't red. But to make the subject matter stronger I tilted the camera to make the dandelions lean to the left giving them a fighting chance of competing for our attention from the evil red mass behind them.
This picy rates an awesome verging on magnificent.....Wot you fink Lonnit:-)
