I have never photographed a garden from below. Never. Ever. I have, however, seen other people doing that, and I recently saw a nice photo that resulted from shooting from below. I have always looked at gardens from above, and I am not sure why, but I think it's because I want the foreground - middleground- background effect, and also because I want to look *into* the blossoms. So, because I am SO dead set against shooting from below, I decided to do it today when I saw these flowers and this house. I think it works in this sutuation. Of course the photograph ends up being more about the flowers in relation to the house, than about just the flowers alone.

this is more interesting to me than a photo of the front of the house would be. sometimes the lines of a home can be so stark and uninviting. the flowers soften the picture, so instead of looking at a house, i'm seeing a home. i like that.
I feel as if I'm hiding below and I just want to peak up to see who is in the house...
