Compositional Trick # 4 Simplicity

Simplicity in a photo helps strengthen the composition by making the photo seem a lot less chaotic and confusing for the viewer. Though some may mistaken simplicity as boring or a simple subject, it means quite the contrary. Simplicity is just where the photographer eliminatest the excess noise in the background so that the emphasis is on the object that is being simplified. Simplicity is an effective trick; if used correctly, it can create beautiful photographs with good a composition.
In my photographs, I simplified the little sprout growing out of the ground by using macro and making the camera blur out everything in the background; in the other, i simplified the tree's seed pot by turning the photo into black in white so that the shadow of the object pops out and the actual seed pot pops out.
