When I first became interested in photography I remember frequently coming across images that I thought were just wonderful, so much better than the images I seemed to be producing back then, but I couldn't really put my finger on what it was about the image that I found so attractive.

Over time however, as I learnt more and more, I realized that one of the aspects that might endear me to a particular image would simply be its simplicity. Because the subject had been so beautifully isolated, the amount of information my brain had to assimilate whilst looking at the image was greatly reduced and this would make the image very relaxing and pleasing to view. 

My latest image 'Sunlit Sprig of Leaves in Black and White' is one such image. My intention with this was to create a work that would allow a sense of peace and well being in the viewer.  To allow the viewer to simply enjoy a moment with nature.

Whether I've succeeded or not, well, that I would have to find out from you, so please do add a comment if you feel so inclined and let me know what you think.

Many thanks for dropping by and taking the time to read my blog. If you would like to keep up with all my latest images and special offers please do 'like' my page on Facebook.
