For me, a shot is either there, or it's not. I can't "rearrange"
things to make things look better, and I'm not talking
philosophically, I'm talking reality. No matter how I try to
"improve" the look of a still life, I can't. I see it: either it
works or it doesn't. I take the photo: either that works or it
doesn't.
Back in the days of film I've taken some shots that I loved, but that
could have used some improvement ("man, I should have focused on the
front lip of that cup!"), and when I went back to "reshoot", I simply
couldn't arrange the objects the "right way" - it just never looked
right.
I'm not saying you can't rearrange things, nor am I saying you
shouldn't, I'm just saying I can't. Hopefully it'll work for you.
I guess that's why I'd never make it as a studio photog...
;-)
cheers,
frank
