I do know this much after looking at thousands of my photos: I never see
power lines phone lines or any cables until I post process. Maybe that's
because I never take a level picture either. So I think I am totally
focussed on what I want in the frame.

I've been thinking about how I compose shots, and I've realized that I often go to more
effort to hide things that I think will detract from the shot, than I do trying to make
everything that I might want is visible. I'd often rather do two "detail"
photos, each with a clean background, rather than one photo with everything in it, if the
background has something I don't like.
However, I often spend a lot of time trying to compose my photos with two
thematically contrasting objects, so I don't only think about hiding things,
but what I'm showing as well.
When you compose shots, do you think that your style is more about showing
things, or hiding things?
