And there were some kids jumping up and down to give a sense of scale to the photograph. I was very lucky that one of the children was wearing a pink top, as it offered some good colour contrast with the blue background. The key was to frame the girl with a maximum amount of negative space around her to clearly separate her from the background. It took a lot of tries, but I\u2019m quite happy with this photograph.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lines are a very important element of design.
