Carolyn Steele Week #9 - Diagonal line

Staying true to my quest for old gardens, I turned to Murray Park, one of my favorite places to shoot family portraits. As I rounded the central hillside in the arboretum, I saw these kids coming across the crest. Had I more time, I would have recomposed a bit so that the trees weren't in the center of the frame. I'm calling this my "diagonal" because the diagonal rise of steps leads to the children. Also, if you look closely, the sight lines of the children create an inverted triangle with the base at the top of the steps. One more point - the children's white shirts and girl's red ribbon help to establish a focal point and counteract the clutter of the scene. Tech: Nikon D-300, 112mm, F-5.3, 1/100 sec.
