It doesn't matter whether rules are instinctive or not. There are rules because people
who do not apply them instinctively improve considerably when starting to apply them.
This has been proven without doubt. Therefore there are rules or this would have

Mike, I don't believe anybody has made these claims during this
discussion. On the contrary, people have repeatedly pointed out
the ambiguity in the word 'rule' and warned against misinterpreting
it. But you've continued wilfully to misrepresent
You do write well, Mike. That is partly because you do it a lot and are in
practice. When someone does anything a lot, and is not burned out and
uncaring about the results, they usually do it well. That certainly goes for
photography. When I am in practice my photography is good. I never use
Mike you obviously don't get the point here that I and others have been
trying to make. This e-mail suggests to me that you obviously know the rules.
These rules, being generalized, have to be broad. Thus they are

I specialize in pictures of hunting retrievers and their handlers at
hunt tests and field trials. There aren't any schools that teach you

I guess it depends on how good an eye one has. Some people have an
innate ability to design beautiful images. Others struggle. For the
latter, the rules can help. And sometimes they can lead to a realization
of innate abilities. Cameras tend to confuse new photographers. The

There was an article in the NY Times several years ago about a study
done by some art historians. A large number of portraits were analyzed
and it was discovered that a vast majority of them painted with one of
the subjects eye's on, or near, the vertical centerline of the picture.
It wasn't a
