Contributed photo by Kate Gonzalez. Gonzalez focused her camera on a colorful display of potatoes at a recent farmer's market at Cottins Hardware. Most photographers make subjective judgements on the success or failure of a photograph. Whether an image is pleasing to others often depends on the photographer's use of composition, light and creative visual devices.
