[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 207413, member: 1573"] I think I'm overanalyzing. Since it's "composition", maybe it simply has to do with subject placement. The fact that the guy is entirely in the water, in the frame, makes it a "closed" composition. It should not matter how he got there. Right? (but it's nice to know, so thank you for that clarification) I have now changed my answer also about your second photo (the first version) . . . I think it's open because the petals continue outside the boundary/frame. And your second version I would consider, closed, because even though the petals are still outside the frame, the center is so strong that it doesn't matter because that center is entirely in the frame. Thanks for posting your photos for this exercise! . . . and now I am going to bed . . . all this thinking has given me a headache :cool: [/QUOTE]
