Actually, for me it's more like the "not" version you describe...
See, decide it's an interesting subject, consider lighting, angles,
placement of subject in frame, plus a lot more, shoot.
I don't really decide whether what I see is a *good composition*. If I
like the *subject*, I attempt to *make* a pleasing composition,
incorporating it. There are sometimes though that good compositions are
just staring you in the face, but I find it usually takes more work than
that for me. It may actually be that I see potential for a pleasing
composition and then I attempt to fine-tune it into one.
Like you said re: larger format cameras, it's probably the reason why I'm
leaning towards a 67II as opposed to another 35mm camera. I figure if I
takes this long with a 35mm, I might as well reap the benefits of larger
media.
