Here's how I can explain it with a few examples (none of which are in my garden this fine May 1st, but from previous years)
Try to achieve super clear focus.
Composition. Try to start and end the photo at natural points, nature does this for me with the tips of these lily petals.
Rhythm. Notice how the eye is kept busy going around and around the curves of this Fungi?
Balance. Simplicity always works best and the stalk is needed to balance the flowerhead.
Get down on yer knees Think of different angles to offer interest.
Hope that helps
P.S. Missed one of my favourites. Texture. Not only do we all love Scabiosa because of its pin cushion heads, but in this photo the petals are almost like blobs of watercolour, in my eye anyhow.
It finally stopped raining at about 3pm here. My garden is completely sodden, I've been bringing waterlogged pots into the greenhouse out of the rain. The jackdaws and sparrows have been stealing the basket liners for their nests, but the jackdaws have only been taking it as far as our chimney... cheeky gets! I did see Mr and Mrs bullfinch stripping the seeds from the dandelion heads this morning.
If you can call my office for an appointment I will make sure I am available anytime from 6.25am on 11thMay for the following 14 days-any claims outside that period are null and void-usual t&c's apply

If you are unavailable I will be taking a chicken as compensation.
Oh Geoff...looks like you edited out the wall in your last pic. Do you agree with the improvement?
Ws-That is what I tried but it didn't seem to work-so if you think it looks better than happy bunny
Kate-move away from the chicken!!-they are not for human consumption.
Geoff if I cannot have a chicken can you label up your dahlias, thanks in advance.
