4235. Photography tips - Heliconia rostrata flowers

Heliconia rostrata (Hanging Lobster Claw, False Bird of Paradise) is a large evergreen perennial with huge, leathery, banana-like, dark green leaves, up to 4 ft. long. Brilliant bracts of florets packed on thick stems.

Use PHOTOSHOP "Content Aware" to "fill" up white space on right of original image to get whole square full. 



 
How to fill up the right side which is white? I had no idea.

Recently, I read a photo magazine and learnt from the writer who shares his knowledge.
Steps are "Photoshop - Fill - Rectangle - Content Aware". See below. It is not ideal for
this image as the leaves on the extension look weird,
but in some images, it will continue the scenery by extension!
