Hi angela k,
Backyard stiff always makes for fun subjects, but I needed a still life for a local competition, so I tried about everything to get something I liked. Nothing worked, so my wife and I took a little drive up the North Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River and found a perfectly simple setting. Rule #1 for me is to "keep it simple". Rule #2, be aware of the background. Rule #3, make sure the subject is in focus.
Thank you so much for your comments.

Your rules are spot on and made for a wonderful and interesting still life... as far as garden shots go, I can't get enough of them!! I go out all times of the day and shoot anything and everything!!
