Lunchtime Photo

This is a Louisiana white hibiscus on the shore of Lake Martin. It poses an interesting question of cropping. I chose to crop it so the flower is a small spark of color in the surrounding greenery, which provides a particular emotional appeal. But you could crop it several other ways that would have a different appeal. It's mostly not right or wrong, just a matter of what you want to say.

    It wouldn't fit your blog format, but I'd want to crop this photo as a tall narrow rectangle, to cut out some of the twig that is angling upward at the right. Flower and greenery, not so much dull gray stick.
