So the doors are the subject and the shapes around them take your eye to the doors :) At least that's what it did for me. You could even lop off the more "modern" end and be left with 2 doors, 2 windows and rectangular spaces around them if you wanted. Looks like an old Russian building.

This is another picture I took at the same historic site. I knew I liked it, but didn't really understand why...but now I see that it was all the shapes within the picture. Even the old wire and the small bulb at the bottom follow the curve of the broken wall.

This makes one think Pat.....unmarked and marked images...church is the subject..a triangle; with a large arc or framed by the trees; leading lines to the church are the steps and hand rail.

Like everybody else, I see churches as interesting subjects, partly because of the shapes they include and produce

Purpose of the challenge: identify principles of geometric composition, practice, and post your results. Developing composition skills is directly related to dynamic photographs. Please begin by reading these 2 short articles (which have many illustrations). Take a look at something you shot in the last few weeks. Can you identify any patterns? I am no expert in composition but I want to learn. Please share what you know about this subject.

You may use geometry already and not recognize it. I purposely “shot” for the challenge, kept referring to the articles and analyzed my images. In a photo slump? Shapes are everywhere. Analyze magazine photos, TV ads - anything visual.

Remember: the shape itself is NOT the subject this time. The shape(s) should draw you to the subject.

Really looks interesting now. All those verticle boards are simple ling rectangles and there is nothing to distract from the subject matter of the windows and doors. Maybe Heidi's Grandfather will come out the door with a couple goats!
