Simplifying
In this assignment we were to take 2 pictures, 1 picture with a focal point and distracting elements and the same picture without the distracting elements.
Simplifying is when you are able to eliminate any distracting elements from the picture. The photo on the left, of a flower, is not simplified because there are distracting elements, whereas, the photo on the right of the flower there are no distracting elements.
