NEXT FLORA THEME SEPTEMBER 2-8
The next topic for our flora theme week will be Frame Filling Color. Little or no background and near monoplanar comps are the ideal.

Nice choice for the theme Bill. "Monoplanar" huh? What's next, rectilinear ..... :biggrin:
Hope you had fun in CO! :wavey:

OK, Bill, I understand Frame Filling Color. I know that monoplane is an airplane with one pair of wings, but what in the world are "monoplanar comps?"

Thanks for explaining.

Interesting idea, Bill, but do you mean composition all on the same plane of view? Clarify please, i'm sure this will be interesting. (Especially if the BF's will leave me alone.) :smile:

Ok......I give up - cause I am none to sure What monoplanar means either. You don't have any plans on giving us a test on this at the end of the year do you? :rolleyes: I do however get the Frame Filling Color Part.
Carol I was laughing so hard at your responce I couldn't hardly type this. But Thanks for asking? :wink:

You got us on this one, Bill. Even in searching for the word monoplanar, it's very confusing and of course, no referral to flowers! :confused: :rolleyes: :frown:

Mike Moats latest image is a great example of a monoplanar comp and one that would fit the theme perfectly. My image above is a near-monoplanar comp in that its obviously not a flat field but close. David Schwaegler's latest image is another great example. Hope this helps. >=))>

Gotcha! Thanks for the explanation, Bill! :smile:

Thanks, Bill,

The pointer to Mike's image really helps.
