The Lens Artists Challenge this week is about shots that focus on the subject using the various photographic elements like pattern, line, texture, etc.
Leaf Squared…I happened to catch this shot walking down the hallway at work one day. The obvious subject is the lone leaf that’s framed in both the light square and the square tile.
Zooming in to fill the frame can help focus on the subject. I went for texture in this shot.
Here the steps lead your eye to the scoreboard giving an idea of what you’ll see when you enter.
On this one, I zoomed in on a racquet dampener that I thought would make a cool shot. The bright yellow color makes it stand out and it was already in a frame…lol.
Thanks to Patti for this week’s challenge idea.

Excellent gallery – love especially the orangutan and the raquet dampener.
Thanks Ann-Christine…
Wow. Great photos and focuses all. LOVE the leaf shot, and I hope Goffin beat Kyrgios. (We watch a lot of tennis.)
Thanks John…he beat Goffin in straight sets there and made it to the final losing to Dimitov in straight sets. Talented but just can’t resist acting a fool. Not a fan.

Cool thing you did with that leaf. You’ve used a parallelogram of light and the square tile to frame you subject.
Thanks Khurt…
What a wonderful series for this topic. I like thow you use the light, texture, colors… to focus the subject.
Thanks Amy…
Great examples of focusing on the subject, Andy. I especially love the orangutan image and the tennis racket. Great texture, patterns, light, color. The eyes are so expressive, too.
Thanks Patti…
Excellent choices Andy – all do a terrific job of drawing the viewer’s eye to you subject. Your orangutan image is really special. Were you a a zoo or did you see it in the wild? either way it’s great – you’ve also done a nice job of drawing us in with his eyes.
Thanks Tina…the orangutan shot was taken at the Columbus Zoo.
