# 252 - "Reflections. . ."



“What's really important is to simplify. The work of most photographers would be improved immensely if they could do one thing: get rid of the extraneous. If you strive for simplicity, you are more likely to reach the viewer. ” - William Albert Allard

Burano Window

Simplify is a lot harder than you would think. All too often we look through the viewfinder wondering if there is enough to tell the story or convey the message. The simplicity of this image harkens to what Allard is saying – get rid of the extraneous stuff! Burano is one of the islands in Venice harbor. The bold yellow color first caught my eye. Then the angles of the window positioned against the rest of the building and the deep blue sky – notice no polarizer used. My last thought was to flip the image to give it a more natural flow.
