I love the yellow color in this picture. This is a picture with analogous composition because the colors used are next to each other on the color wheel, like the yellow and browns used. I love how you can see so much detail in this picture. You can see the water droplets on the yellow flower, the pollen in the center of the flower in the right hand corner, and the lines on the shell of the snail. I love how the photographer included just enough of the center of the flower to create a reference and add more color. I also really like where the snail is, not directly in the center, but in a place where the lines in the rule of thirds would cross. The yellow color near the snail is the brightest shade of yellow in this picture to draw the attention to the snail. I think this is a fabulous picture.
