http://www.photoforum.ru/rate/photo.php?photo_id=190899 I've been told that this photo has broken composition. It is as if there are two separates shots inside one - one with lower lamp and the other one with the lamp above. I think that the shadows and lights work together so that this image is actually a whole. Here is the question: is this composition really broken into two halves? What defines a composition that is whole? I mean not in a sense of rules or examples, but rather in a sense of viewer's perspective... Thanks. -- Boris =========== I find it a quite interesting. I suppose it could be better composed, OTOH, one lamp is high, one is low, and I am not sure how you would have composed it differently. I don't think the composition is broken. The eye has a lot to do -- but, personally, my eye can handle it. Unusual shot. Probably someone told you their eye had to bounce back and forth, bang, bang. That's not always "bad." Marnie aka Doe
