Simplicity

dogwood

There is a tendency for some people to never just let a picture be.

They are always fussing away, adjusting tint and contrast. Doing a whole host of actions, but never just stepping back and leaving the image alone. I admit I will pretty up a picture, but I always try to do the minimum amount.

Take for example this dogwood blossom, it is straight out of the camera. Jake took it a while ago when the flowers were fresh, with little droplets of water sprinkled across the petals. I thought the image was stunning and all that I did was download the picture from Jake's camera and then title it dogwood. I didn't even have to crop the picture. Jake was able to compose a lovely picture through the viewfinder.
