Hi friends, I would like to open a discussion on the composition photo. Sometimes it's easy to say whether or not a photo has a good composition, other times it is very difficult.
There are many "rules" to keep in mind when composing a shot - white balance , Rules of thirds, to avoid overlaps, find the right shot, using a simple style, perspective, etc.. Develop an intuitive eye for composition requires a lot of time and a lot of practice.

I will talk about "rules" of composition in individual future posts, for now I will only present some beautiful examples of compositions that I found through a search on Flickr Creative Commons.

A perfect use, quite literally, the concept of "framing"

Very good use of the horizon line - 1/3 above the frame rather than centered. A shift of 2/3 above the frame, however, is appropriate if the subject is on the ground.

Nice and simple, with excellent balance.

Another fine example of simplicity, with excellent application of the "rule of thirds."

Fantastic use of balance, framing, simplicity and perspective.
