Sometimes less is more, as Cee demonstrates this week in her “Compose Yourself Photo Challenge”, “Simplicity” edition. The “simplicity” challenge: Show us 4 to 6 photos that you have taken that are extremely simple. Show us your uncropped and unedited versions. Sharpening and saturation is allowed.
Here are my four simple originals:
For some additional fun: Cropping: show us one before and after cropped simplicity photo. Color vs. B&W: show us the same photo one color and one black and white photo.
Here’s my cropped photo. ( Click on any photo to see it larger.)
Here are the color and black-and-white versions.
I love that very first one: it suggests sounds and movement of winds…not to mention the texture against fingers. Nice
Merci beaucoup (thus exhausting a too-large portion of my French.) I’ve loved those furry grasses every since I was little. I’d love to have some natural grasses in my yard one day when we have our own house, not a rental.

Thanks X 3, Michelle. 🙂

I love the weed on the first one… like these simple and nice subjects. ☺
Thanks, Majka. It’s some sort of natural grass and so graceful.
janet
Beautiful photos!
I’m happy you like them, Trisha.
janet
Simple but beautiful!
Thanks.

What a fun challenge – love your choices Janet. Lots of parameters on this one but your response is definitely on the money!!
I can’t resist saying it was simple, Tina. 🙂 Thanks for the visit and comment.
janet
So lovely. Every shot! You’ve mastered this one, Janet.
Thank you, Judy!

nice photos…
I like the first photo, Janet. I took a very similar one yesterday afternoon.

Thanks, Allan. I do love natural grasses. I’ll be at the park again tomorrow morning, phone in pocket.
janet
Perhaps you will find a subject that will work for the WPC today.

I’m out and about this morning running errands, but I just saw the theme for today, “Careful.” Yikes!
janet
It is not only the theme for today, but also for the rest of life.

I did come up with a photo by the time I got home. 🙂
Hi Janet,
This is a really great entry for this week. I even kind of like the “bee” photo and I don’t like bees at all. That is high praise from me. 😀
Thanks very much, Cee. I’m not sure if it’s a bee or wasp, but I’m glad you kind of like it.
janet
Great photos.
Thanks much, Raewyn.
janet
Love that last bee! Picture perfect
Thanks, Lisa. Glad you enjoyed it.
janet
Simply stunning!
Thanks so much. 🙂
janet
I do feel honored and grateful for your ongoing support and inclusion of your beauties in the Photo Rehab! Thank you.
And I for you.
