About all I could think of doing was to emphasise the stripiness enough to turn it into a theme to justify all of the shadows.

Thanks for taking the time, R.G., I appreciate it.

You're welcome. I suppose there's no alternative but to put up a new fence

To my eye the shadows on the ground work well but the one up the middle of the flowers looks like it shouldn't be there.
Try not looking at it as a “flower picture” and just consider the actual scene. No guarantee it will work for you but could be rewarding to give it a try ...

Perhaps if one of the shadow strips hadn't split the flowers right up the middle it might have worked better for me. Perhaps if the strip up the middle had been bright instead of dark it might have worked better. Nope - there's no other answer - the fence has to go

On the walk today, I saw the light working through a fence onto flowers. This caught my eye and I took the shot. Is this of interest or just one of my many poor judgments?

Hi, Mike, Lille it lots! The contrast of strips of lighting is very effective. My fist thought would have been to also try a lower angled perspective that would allow seeing the flowers projecting a bit upward into those strips of light. Just my usual “work the scene” tendency. I guess.

Good idea, Dave. My stiff joints will resist, but given a future opportunity that might help.

Yes, it does. This is a case of the shot being more than the subject. It is the light, the angles and the contrast of colors and textures. Well done.

This is not poor judgement. You took best advantage of the scene as it was presented to you. By enhancing the light (or accentuating it as the case may be), you give us a strong central point of interest. The shadows and secondary highlights in the background add impact and interest to your subject without detracting from it. I know that we are trained not to place subjects dead center in a photo. This is an example of a rule that was and should have been broken. Those flowers need to be in the center.

Erich, thank you for taking the time to look and analyze my effort. I hope that you have a good Memorial Day.
