“If your photos aren’t good enough, then you’re not close enough”

Robert Cappa once said "If your photos aren't good enough, then you're not close enough".  As a macro photography enthusiast this saying and "fill the frame" were the two things that always came to mind when I had my camera in hand.  I always did know the "rule" about negative space and room to breathe, but it was something I didn't think about often.  A few years ago when I had a photo chosen for a magazine cover, it was then I realized how important negative space was.  No negative space leaves no room for words to be printed.  I've also come to realize that if your photos aren't good enough then they're probably just not good enough.

This weeks lesson on leaving room to breathe was one I struggled with, always wanting to get a little closer and closer.  All photos have a layer of kk_felicity and were taken back into Lightroom and the preset kk_darklight was applied.
