Presentation and Framing

Texas Wildflower 08, originally uploaded by DigiDragon.

This is another one of my own shots. I took this at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center here in Austin.

With a bit of cropping, and creating the presentation, I think it's a pretty solid image.

Note the depth of field, such that the berries (?) in the center are sharp and clear, some of the leaves are clear, and the background blurs out of focus.

I used a framing technique I learned from Digital Photo magazine (September 2007, page 76) to put the inner frame partially behind the image. Pretty cool stuff. I think that the framing adds a special element to the shot.
