Show Us Your Greatest Composition

[Landberg]

Rikard, that is a great balance of objects in the frame ... though I would prefer it square.

Thank you! It is square!😉

Thank you! It is square!😉

Hmm, on my screen it looks slightly rectangular ... hmm maybe the upper space is throwing off my brain.

This one came into mind ->

...i can't decide between the following 2 images:

i enjoy the stalking, the set up involved in taking the shot and peace of mind in knowing i left them as i found them.

I have quite a few that I like for a variety of reasons, but wrt composition, I like this one.

One of Favorite Candid Photos, I love the angles and the bike rider's expression, and that he is riding out of the frame.
I took this as a "walk by" when I saw all this geometry in play. I quickly raised my pre-adjusted camera as I passed him.
(or he passed me)
I don't think he saw me at all, except to ride by without hitting me.
I was a good 5 feet away though, so I was in no danger, I was staying clear on my own.

Please post only one photo...

Through The Fog by Xia Ke, on Flickr

...and say why you think it is your best.

This is perhaps my favorite print I have ever done. Composition wise, I like the simplicity of the scene, the reflections in the mirror calm water, the mystery of the fog, and how the submerged tree sticking out of the water is sort of a mirrored play on the contours of the shoreline.

This is probably one of my favourite compositions ... it happened instantly with zero premeditation and was more of a grab than many shots I take in the gallery.

My favourite composition I took with a Leica IIIa, when I first saw the negative it spooked me out a bit as the figure looked so ghostly

Indeed. But this one did not really help either. 😉

What I'm missing to be able to make any comments, is why one thinks, that a posted image is a great composition.

I think, composition is by definition a conscious act. Thus, I think, an image posted should be explained by the artist or photographer, why it is a great composition, what was the background, what he or she was trying to accomplish or something like that. For a composition there must be (a) reason, some intellectual or emotional but in any case a conscious act to create that specific image. This consciousness might even not be there in the moment of taking the picture, but in the selection of that image from a series of similar later. - But if nobody tells about these unseeable things, that make a simple shot into a composition... how should we comment then on them?

Pretty images are not enough for the topic of this thread (and possibly not even needed). It's about composition.

I am really enjoying these photos...Like a Museum, where you take it all in, and ponder the relevance in your life. 😎
