Thank you Darren! I really like articles that are to the point and not long and drawn out. Pictures really help people understand what you are trying to say. You did an excellent job!

Thanks for the information. I've not thought of texture before when thinking of composition. I will gave to play with that idea now and see what it yields. Feel free to check out my composition information at www.great-photography-tips.com/Photography-Tips-Composition.html.

Sometimes, Annie, you just have to say what is on your mind!
Composition is exegesis. If one thinks of a book as the photograher’s medium one “interprets the meaning” of a portion of the book with ones creative eye. Each person using this site will experience the moment differently and that my friends is what makes photography so very exciting. If any of you get National Geographic, take a look at 5-11 issue as it has Abelardo Morell’s facinating experiments with the “Camera Obscura.” Talking about composition!!

Darren, I love your posts as usual. You’ve always done a great job thoroughly explaining things in an informative way. On the other hand, I think you missed some important elements of composition: backdrop, viewpoints, filling the frame, or even keeping it simple for instance. I did a blog post on this matter a few weeks ago: http://bit.ly/hBOnyi But I also feel that people need to know that sticking to your instincts may be the best rule, because not all the time do these ideas apply.

Hey great stuff, really helpful. I am doing a project on fine art photography, are the elements the same, or is there a difference?
Do you have any information I could look at?

Thanks
