We just go on shoot...the subject is enchanting, we cannot move our eyes from it, wish to use flash, can include some more things, so beautiful a perspective, high angle will suit it, sunlight or diffuse light will suit???---These and more questions come in the mind when we have a camera in our hand...There is no end of temptations.
2. Therefore in the experts' view the compositional balance is perhaps the single most important aspect of an image. SIMPLICITY AND A CLEAN COMPOSITION is often more difficult to achieve than a complicated effect. TOO MANY ELEMENTS FIGHTING FOR ATTENTION can confuse a viewer...However in order to have a good classification from composition pov, have a look at the following:
2.1 Subject placement for emphasis: here rule of thirds and following diagonals are some of the basic guides to look out for;
2.2 Distractions in the frame: A good photographer knows what to include or exclude...Anything that is not the part of the subject or its context is a distraction.
2.3 Framing, orientation, camera angle and perspective, these should the subject and the theme.
2.4 Ignoring of these will hamper ur final selection of the image...since a complete photograph is loved by the viewer, the judges in competition, or the audience in ur own solo photo exhibition.
3. In the above photograph, u will find simple placement of the sketch-pens. However, colour makes the difference...The red cap is dominating so placed at rule of thirds....both corners are neutral colours and does not allow eye to go out of frame but help to come on the red...On the paper there are diagonal lines...they give strength to the placement of the pens---a combination of horizontal and diagonal make it a pleasing composition. Otherwise there are so many colours such as: green. white, orange, blue, white of paper but compressed in single composition dominated by red.
