The type, the amount and the color of it.- I look at the background and foreground and try to visually set up the composition around what is there that cannot move or be moved.- I look for color, or things with color, and compare them with my subject to see if they are a distraction or compliment- I look for the most interesting angle(s) to shoot from- I then pose the subject or try to find the best pose or profile and then check everything inside my viewfinder- I then compose the shot</blockquote>
