Space is the breath of art. Frank Lloyd Wright

As a general rule, eliminating extraneous details in your composition will always improve it.

• Often moving closer, to one side, or choosing a higher or lower perspective will help you eliminate unnecessary information from the scene.

• However, sometimes simplicity is more than just streamlining the image. Sometimes, it is the image. For instance, the image below is a plant holder in the cemetery. However, when isolated in the snow and given the title “halo” it takes on a different meaning and feeling altogether.

Sometimes a simple image can take the viewer further than a complex image full of stuff the viewer has to sort out and try to understand.

Simplicity, clarity, singleness:
These are the attributes that give our lives power and vividness and joy as they are also the marks of great art. Richard Holloway
