[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 207510, member: 13090"] If you just can't decide if a shot has open or closed composition, try this... Close your eye's for a second and think about puppies or mom or something else entirely wholesome for a moment, just to help erase the mental image of the actual picture out of your head. Then open your eye's and take in the photo under consideration and pay attention to what your eye's do, or want to do, instinctively... Do they zoom around the frame? If they do, it's a good indicator the composition is open; if they don't it's a good indicator the composition is closed. This is not some infallible test because there is no such thing; there are few absolutes on this topic. Then too, as has been pointed out previously, there are going to be those photos that mix elements of both Open and Closed composition. I do feel bad I've managed to give Helene a headache, even if indirectly! [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
