Perfect Arrangement

The white blooms of the Ninebark really stand out against its dark purplish leaves, which in turn mark out this shrub as quite different to a predominance of greens at this time of year.

I initially thought the flowers, only half in the frame around the edges, to be a distraction and carefully removed them in Photoshop to leave a clean border. However, looking at the before and after side by side, I decided I preferred the original. The perfectly arranged version looked off somehow, the image needed a little imperfection to keep it real.
