How to use color in photography?

When shooting composition, we often pay attention to the position arrangement and composition of each element in the picture. In fact, many people don't know that color can also be used for composition.

For example, in the photo below, the combination of colors is one of the key factors for success. Red is very conspicuous in the photo-even a little will make it stand out-so ladybugs don't need to occupy a big position in the photo. Yellow is also one of the brightest colors, which will stand out in the picture, so that the viewer can notice the flowers at once. At the same time, blue is not so eye-catching in the picture (perhaps because it is the color of the sky), it is the most ideal background color, and it can also give photos a certain sense of hierarchy.
