Can composition be right or wrong or is it just down to opinion?

Have i opened a can of worms here?:D

:popcorn:
 
I'm of the thinking that as long as your happy with your shot then it's ok...but that depends on why you shoot. I shoot for fun so if I'm happy with a shot then I'd say the composition's ok.

*taking cover*
 
Again, I agree with fabs.

Brett Harkness breaks rules all over the place and yet it works. His portraiture can be very unconventional.
 
Rules are made to be broken!

Sometimes the 'rules' are far more obvious and doing anything but will make the photo look daft in anyones eyes...but generally speaking, if it looks good...I'd be happy with it!
 
A composition either works or doesn't, its not down to fitting the rules in anyway, its about the rules being a useful aid to make the composition.

A good composition works because it satisfies fundamental natural relationships with how humans view what’s good (beautiful) and bad (ugly) via the natural selection characteristics in built within our DNA to populate, prosper and survive ... :help:

A good composition 'pleases the eye' or rather pleases your cool dna spotting senses.
Why, one word, symmetry. ...everything natural has it, designers strive to nail it, its natures blue print of what works and what doesn't.
A beautiful human face is full of symmetry, as is a stunning human body, the female form ..From an apple to the curve of a trunk of full healthy tree on an horizon, the petals of a rose, that point at which the first leaf junctions its stem ...evolution has chosen what fails and what survives, and as intelligent descendants we can naturally see what’s beautiful and what’s not … Tell me you find Girls Aloud unattractive and I’ll call you a fibber right.

We’ve learnt some of her tricks, and the ‘composition rules’, guidelines really, are adapted from some of them.

Thats what I learnt anyway. :nuts: :D
