This is easier said then done, I've tried making color schemes from aesthetically pleasing photos before and the end result was kind of blah. If you take that photo of the frog in the post for example and you want to include the red from the frog's eye in your scheme how do you choose the right red there are probably literally hundreds of different shades you could select. That is to say I agree that nature has awesome color schemes but I don't think it's as simple to go from a great picture of nature to a great color scheme as the author thinks it is, in other words not exactly a shortcut for beginners and the unskilled.
