Photo tip: keeping it simple

The most important part of a picture is the frame.
We don't need everything in the picture. Usually, less
is more. The more we think about line, shape, colour, texture
and the other elements of visual design,
and take the label off the subject (as Freeman Patterson
says in his excellent books on photography) the stronger
our pictures become. Does it matter what this is?
It's an interesting photo because of its strong colour, shape and
lines. That's enough.
