Leaning into the sun

Get Pushed Challenge #421
My get pushed partner challenged me to create depth using visual cues to imply the 3rd dimension in your 2 dimensional shot. I used foreground and background out of focus and midground in focus to try to create some depth. I think the darker colors beyond the flowers in the background also serve to give a feeling of depth to the photo. This was a bit harder than I expected. This was the first time I tried it. If the weather cooperates I may try again.
@sandradavies This was a fun challenge. Thank you. I wasn't sure what you meant to use visual cues to imply the 3rd dimension, but this is my take on it. I may try a landscape this week if the weather cooperates.

This is really nice, Kathy. Not only have you created visual depth but your diagonal composition creates interest too!

@jb030958 Thanks. Aren't zinnias wonderful. Since we've had some heavy rains, the stalks are bent toward the ground and the flower ends are curled up toward the sun.

@randystreat Yes, they are! I need to plant some!
