I've been checking my shots on the internet. It seems that 80-90% have a somewhat golden section composition. I may have to rethink my photographic apporach...

This shot, with its title, seemed a wonderful combination of a cold, analytical, formulaic rule of thumb with a visceral, emotional assault on the viewer. I am not sure I am explaining this well, but the "rule of thirds" title and composition draws the viewer into the photograph, while the subjects and their placement seemed to come back out and confront the viewer. Very interactive. Sounds a bit hoity toity la dee dah, huh? In any event, I think that photograph is stunning. >From what I have read on PDML, I think I may be headed for some sort of mental breakdown, being a big fan of both the Theriaultian and the Belinkoffian modes of seeing. Is my brain about to explode? *>UncaMikey __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Check email on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/learn/mail
