Spring (Out of the Ground)


I saw these Crocus coming out of the ground in the garden of my dentist. His front yard faces south, so it gets more sunlight than the garden next to our house. It brightened my day to see this first sign of spring. Then the question is, how many blossoms do I include in the photograph - one or two or three. One would be OK, two does not make an interesting design, and three is always a good choice in terms of a more interesting composition. I think I read somewhere that if I was doing a food photograph, I would not want an even number of apples, for instance. Too static a composition, so I would always use an odd number of fruits or vegetables.
