John's BEYOND NATURE Technique

Maximize Your Image.
Sometimes you have to make the best of a poor situation, like cloudy skies. Here I used overhead framing to diminish the gray sky and frame Fenis Castle in the Aosta Valley.
I stepped back and used a favorite personal icon, a fence, to create a strong diagonal line leading into the frame. Finally, I just watched the children playing and captured an active moment. And, the red umbrella does add a bit.
