An Idyllic Scene in West Sussex

The course I'm on this month has us concentrating on colour. Complimentary pairings, balance and the weight each colour has in a scene.

I think the yellow of the daffodils balances out the weight of the red of the telephone box which are both highlighted by the monochrome-ish background

Rule of thirds, intersecting diagonals, layers and no more than to three points of interest (gate, phone box and house)
So quintessentially English, I love it 😻

I love this composition

Love the daffodils. I also love that you still have the phone boxes. You can't find a public phone in hardly any places in the US.

Interesting point to be aware of Jackie, and I do think the two colours offer balance to your shot, along with the green to hold them too

Beautiful scenery, love the flowers and tree. That phone booth looks so out of place.

Wonderful scene

A very English country scene. I would say you have as much yellow as red, so yes it is balanced.

Is a beautiful photo to start with. All that other stuff makes my head swim!

Great composition you seemed to have followed all the rules. Love your found scene with the daffs and red telephone box.

Yes - a very balanced shot. And a very English scene!

Often you can see it better when the scene is viewed or the photo changed to b&w. This is a lovely bed of daffodilss and I always like to see those red phone booths even if they are no longer phone booths.
