[QUOTE="Browncoat, post: 11111, member: 1061"] There are probably more "rules", but I think that's a fairly universal listing. A great photograph will invariably fall into one of these two categories: [LIST] [*]Those who abide by the rules [*]Those who break them [/LIST] In my mind, Ansel Adams represents the former group, as his compositions were flawless. It's almost as if he worked from a textbook or checklist to make sure that his photos were fundamentally sound in every way. I would imagine that is why his work has set such a standard. [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Michals"]Duane Michals[/URL] represents that latter. For those who have never heard of him, check out his work. Here's my favorite quote from him, which should give you a glimpse of what to expect: [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
