Letzeeee .....
Quantity, check.
Color, check.
Value, check.
Isolation, check.
Size, check.
Orientation, check.
"Color" "Texture" "Value"
My sister noticed the scene and asked
me for a "David Hockney". There was
nobody IN the pool, so this was just as
close to a DH as I could manage ATM.
Anywho, for me the Hockney request
was just a point of departure. I believe
this stands on it own, not on the coat
tails of DH.

You nailed it beautifully, Jim!
"Isolation"
The article expounds mostly on the graphic
aspects of compositions. Composition-wise,
I looooove that this shot is such a flagrant
violation of so many guidelines. But as an
example of "isolation" it seems to hold up
well enuf. Plus, it also relies a bit on color
as the red scarf leads us thru all the crazy
clutter to the subject.
"Size" and "Color" team up here
on an expanse of whiteness.
I do not know this trio. Was just
a chance encounter.
"Color" ... definitely color.
And "Value" ... for sure.
"Value" for balance.
Lotta "Texture" but texture
is just a garnish, not really
involved in the balance.
All about "Orientation" here .....
If pigs could fly, or even perch !
"Orientation" "Color" "Texture"
"Value" & "Texture"
Genuine natural lighting.
No artificial ingredients.
I don't hardly ever wake
up early enuf to see any
dawn light, so I found it
kinda intriguing ...
I know in my case it's luck. I never heard of these 7 tips- or balance before yesterday. But when I read it, it clicked... I never heard of the rule of 3rds till about 2 years ago...
I am going to stick to my #1 rule first-- Get the shot. Trust your eye...
Get 2 or 3 if possible, playing with camera settings up and down...
Later in edit, on the computer, you can really concentrate on your art..
Digital allows that, more than ever...
I am not saying don't worry about it in the field- Landscapes and inanimate objects aren't going anywhere.
But birds in flight, sports, action shots-- you have to get the shot 1st...

Well thank you Judy! But I'm struggling actually to figure out why I like some of my shots much more than others - perhaps it has partly to do with an unconscious application of balance principles. Hhmmm, application or sheer luck?
Thats funny...
Sue demanded I take that shot...
(So I took Several)
She loved it so much- it's 20 x 30 hanging in our den...
you have good taste!! hahahaha...
