While out photographing trilliums in spring my eye was also drawn to the many wild geranium blooms. I chose one particular subject that included both bud and bloom and got to work experimenting with different variations. In the end I had two versions I liked.
For the first variation I went for horizontal framing and chose a bolder, darker, more vibrant portrayal. This image is a 2-photo focus stack for a slight bit of added depth of field, though it doesn’t really add much.
Variation 1: Bolder, darker, more vibrant
For the second variation I went for square framing and chose a softer, lighter and brighter portrayal.
Variation 2: Softer, lighter, brighter
Which, if either, do you prefer? Leave a comment below and let me know.
