Ok, so here is what photosynthesis means to me:
For my job as it is right now, visual impact is the main driving force. In terms of this
Clematis, the vivid colours and lines beg you to come in for a closer look. Your eye is drawn to it. It doesn't have to be a visually stunning flower, as long as it has some interesting characteristic that makes people stop for a second and take a closer look.
On a side note, I love this new camera. Even in the heat of the afternoon I was able to produce pictures that looked good. I am very happy with this purchase!
