And, here is the traditional floral view. One of the “rules” I was taught in a workshop is: “Never shoot flowers from above”. One of the next “rules” that was presented was: ” The rules should be bent or broken from time to time, whenever you feel the creative urge”. So, there you have it. As much as some would like to make Art a “Science”, basically it is whatever works for you that should be applied.
I’m not sure why people ( myself included) find flowers fascinating to photograph. Perhaps they demonstrate how amazing nature can be in crafting something so colorful and perfect that is the attraction? In terms of flaws it seems like humans have plenty whereas in nature I am not so sure that is the case.
