IMG_6787 WIC #145 Simplicity

- This Weekly Informal Challenge #145 is "Simplicity"

"You don’t take a photograph, you make it." -Ansel Adams

There is a core element of great photography known as simplicity. Please beware of simplicity's alter ego—vagueness. More or less I agree that less is more.
Be careful because sometimes less is—less. Simplify your photography.
Stop, however, before you remove those supplemental visual elements that can complement the center of interest/subject.

Find a visually interesting subject, then work the foreground, middle ground and background to generate a complimentary balance based on the color, form or mood suggested by the original subject.
This approach builds by adding to the subject and can introduce a great deal of personal expression into your picture taking. -

The afternoon sun going down made for interesting shadows on the barn.
We finally got sun after days of clouds and rain.
