Snowie The line has to be true—no crooked frame, but a little bend is natural, like a tree branch. Put the beds so the sun hits them from the side, not straight on; that will catch the golden glow and make the petals look almost molten. Shoot in the early morning or late afternoon when the light is soft, like a warm blanket. Keep the camera steady, maybe use a tripod, and let the light fall from the left if the sun is in the east. That way the shadows will add texture, and the whole scene feels like a quiet, symmetrical sunrise. Try a caption like “Marigolds in amber light, a quiet frame for the day.”

Thanks! I’ll probably forget my keys, but the marigolds will still shine when the light hits them right. Good luck!
