Exactly my point Bob. Mike seems to think he and all photographers don't need to follow any rules. He is sorely mistaken. I don't feel like arguing the point in every great detail because it is not worth it to me. There are compositional rules and if he dosn't want to use them that's fine with me. If he thinks they don't exist, that's fine with me too. If he thinks he is helping new photographers by telling them there are no rules of composition, he is doing them a great diservice. Artistic composition is something that is learned. There are rules to follow that would immediately improve many images. When photographers develop an eye for composition, it becomes second nature. When it becomes second nature, is probably a good time to begin breaking the rules... Vic
