I chose this photo because I feel it captures the grandeur of Spring the best. The diagonal line of the tree branch fabricates energy and emotion as well as moves your eyes around the photo. The use of a short depth of field makes the focal point stand out as well as creates interest and eliminates unnecessary details. The angle of view I chose to utilize was shooting from the ground up, referred to as the "Ant's Eye View". This helps to add interest and more pattern; the background mimics the focal point, just out of focus. Not only does it do a good job of shaping a pattern, it also has a lot of contrast from the black of the branches & leaves to the white of the flowers. This is by far the best picture I have taken.
