This image did not work in colour. Lighting was poor - taken in the middle of the afternoon on a very grey day. Converting to B & W brings the snowdrops very clearly into focus as the subject. I did not see the damaged flower when I took this, but I think it's OK, it is what it is - the first flowers of Spring. No cropping other than to reduce the size of file.
Flowers used to form triangle with 1/3rd, 2/3rds divide. Aperture set to bring most of the flowers into focus with background blurred. Strong lines of leaves emphasising delicate flowers
Just liked this composition with the walled garden beckoning. Difficult exposure trying to retain detail in the shadow without completely overexposing the image through the doorway. Have been reading about merging two images of the same scene with differing exposure levels which I intend to explore over the coming weeks and months.
