Focus on Nature and Practicalities!

Scotland
I think I like the first photograph best today, it is a scene from Scotland, I like the colours, I like the symmetry, I like the harmony. I like its arrangement, it draws me to it and my eyes can't leave it.
However, it does tell a story and focuses on social problems and I'll leave you to work out those for yourself.

They look like lollipops and that makes me want to puke.
So it seems photos can also be used to provoke an emotional response.
National Neographic's photo, by contrast is rather colourless, but natural, and if you look at the bubbles you can delineate the contours, a bit like our brain.
Do you know why they are so convoluted and what that allows them to achieve.
And the only spot of brightness comes from the tiny fish. It is still a good photograph, ask yourself why.
Here's what Nat Geo had to say:
Goby and Bubble Coral, Indonesia, 2005
Photograph by Tim Laman
A goby fish with brilliant orange streaks stands out on a bit of gray bubble coral in Maumere Bay off Indonesia's Flores Island. In most of the ocean, turbid or murky waters force creatures to use nonvisual means of communication—smell, taste, touch, and sound.
But in the clear, sunlit waters of coral reefs, light abounds, vision predominates, and animals drape themselves in blazing color.

And I'll leave you with those few words but large images for you to think about your photography skills.
