[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 391585, member: 9240"] Image composition is [I]always[/I] important, and there's more to it than just the rule of thirds. [I]Maybe[/I] this is at the heart of the discussion? As mentioned, there are techniques of composition applied within all the crops, which is why they don't feel off. Sometimes you can point to the rule of thirds since things like the head and/or ball are at an intersection point. Other times it's likely the Golden Ratio being followed. And while no one speaks about it because, well, it's sort of self-explanatory, composing in the center is [I]not[/I] a violation of the rules of composition provided that light and color are pleasing and nothing is distracting you from the subject. There are often many ways to a well-shot subject from a single capture and, as mentioned, the one thing that usually changes is the story each crop tells. Cropping is just recomposing and there are good and bad ways to do it. [ATTACH type="full"]129155._xfImport[/ATTACH] :) [/QUOTE]
