Elements of Design (5)

I wanted to create a really clean, simple, design with theses spheres in Victoria Square, Birmingham, but found it difficult to avoid distracting details:

Spheres 1

Next I tried to isolate and emphasise one of the spheres but still show it in context of the others:

Spheres 2

Again though fussy details at the top of the image I find distracting, this next example with a shallow depth of field perhaps works better:

Spheres 3

I think what also works better in this third shot is that by cropping less tightly on the nearest sphere, it actually seems to isolate it more.
