Representing Lessons Through Images

I took this picture today and thought it was very interesting on how it could express a concept if I had just gotten the right angle.  (Believe me, it was quite a challenge to find that perfect angle!)  The picture contrasts the lovely red flower (which just happens to be the color of life and joy) to the thorns (which happen to be gray, the color of death).  There also is a dying flower on a leaf on the far right of the picture which I didn't notice as I was taking the picture.  This dying flower just happens to complete the picture.

So a lesson we can learn from this picture is how beautiful things may have hidden thorn, and huge ones too!  This lesson closely relates to "Don't judge a book by it's cover."  It's usually stuff like this that makes a picture very meaningful and in some cases, unforgettable.  So to look for lessons to insert into some pictures
is also a very important thing to learn and master.
