Simplicity

It's best if you make your work simple and elegant. Everything around you could be your object or model in your photography. It's even better if you leave it as it is. Don't move it or put extra props. Simplicity is beauty. Don't forget to be at the position for the best angle.

Here is an example from my beginner's photography
do not copy

As you can see above, I took a picture from the over view. The restaurant where this image was taken arranged flowers and put it inside a big bowl then added water to put a floating effect. I did not move a single thing because it naturally looks beautiful and if I move or add something, maybe it would not be as beautiful as it is now. It was placed over a flat log so what else could I do to make it more beautiful? It's simple, natural & beautiful. Don't over do yourself. Be artistic and of coarse, original.
