The subject of compositon in photography comes up here now and then, with a spectrum of opinions, including extreme ones, arising from this subject.

The article linked below provides one of the better discusssions of this subject that I have seen. It has other links, too, to amplify its presentation. The included photographs illustrate the remarks. The article may prove helpful even to some experienced photographers.

Introducing Composition in Photography

"Composition has the power to convey exactly what you want to say with a photograph, guiding a viewer’s eye seamlessly across the frame. It has been called, with good reason, the strongest way of seeing."

I found this to be an excellent treatment of the subject. I thought it to be succinct, interesting and informative with lots of great images and links to add to the material about it.

Thanks for posting.

The part on balance is very well written, I think. Visual weight is not discussed as often in conversations and composition guidelines as the more familiar rule of thirds, leading lines, etc.

A great link. Contemplative Photography is a much under used concept in a digital 'lets shoot it to death and pick the best later' society. I think this is why I love Landscape Photography: There 'the all' and then several 'better images' available. I have to admit that I gave up using the card thinking it was a beginners tool. Will now cut out a new one. I haven't really tried my hand at image manipulation to extenuate textures as such. My eye keeps being drawn to these prints, but my visualisation in the field is lacking. I think a note book and pen is needed and much more pre planning is in order. Thanks for the inspiration to 'get something new'.
Thanks Anotherview.

Absolutely agree.
