Lens-Artists Challenge #66: Filling the Frame
You can include images of buildings, people, objects, and/or elements from nature. Feel free to include shots of the same subject before you filled the frame and after you filled the frame.

This past summer I had a butterfly experience.
In fact…a massive butterfly experience. As a photographer, I had never been this up close and personal with so many butterflies. As I was to find out, butterfly bushes are instrumental in attracting these beautiful – and elusive – quick-to-fly-away insects.
At first I was drawn to the bushes themselves.
But, after filling the frame, I got the scene I wanted.
A butterfly resting at (almost) center stage, highlighted against its signature flowers.
More recently, I found a patch of ferns in varying degrees of Autumn decay tucked behind a wire fence.
But on closer inspection…I uncovered an entirely different perspective.
A dance of textures and shades of green plus brown.
Decay?
Not so much.

I love ferns. They’re so friendly. Nicely photographed, and the brown and green complement each other.

The two takes on the ferns are my fav here today. And you actually have a lot of nice greens in these “filling the frames” photos

I do! So calming
And we were on a hike last week and I saw brand new baby ferns in bright green! Like it was plugged in… and your full frame of fernies reminded me of that a little
