Pinwheel
Symmetrical or semi-symmetrical subjects can cause a dilemma for the photographer trying to select a composition. Sometimes they can work on the center line of the illustration but they can appear static and graphically boring. Or they can be placed off center but where? With no leading lines this layout may result in an uninteresting composition.
This photographer has gotten up close to capture the circular pattern in this hibiscus flower. He has determined that slightly off center would be the best place for the pistil leaving the pin wheel pattern of the petals on the center line of the image. I believe this was a reasonable compositional choice.
I think I should point out the image is not quite sharp. When photographing a subject it is normally important to keep the intended focus of our attention as sharp as possible. The photo-artist may want to try using a ’sharpen’ and ’sharpen edges’ filter on the computer to make the pistil area snap. This will give more of a feeling of depth to the image.
