Hi, Boris, I'm going to offer a photo thought, or two, that may be a change of direction for you. I'll admit to not being that aware of your style of shooting, so forgive the presumption. Notice the light. I've been stopped a number of times while traveling through scenic 'hunting grounds' when the light suddenly took on a special radiance. Often on hazy, soft, virtually shadowless days. Lack of reflection seems to allow color and texture to pop. Early morning and late afternoon light is what we've all heard termed the "sweet light". Low angle sun light often adds the drama of depth and dimension to the scene. Try to avoid the overly homogeneous scene. If you're shooting a field of flowers, for example, look for something to anchor the foreground. A rock, weathered log, close-up of a large blossom, etc.. It will add so much to the adventure and is more likely to move the viewer. There is a "comfort" I feel when the composition is right. No way to otherwise, describe it. This extends to the final crop and even to the matting, if applied. Hope of some use.
