A little trick to composition — if there is a strong horizontal, make a slightly less strong vertical. Same with strong lines at angles — use angles opposite each other. In the above photo, I would have moved the canoe’s “top” to the right a bit more and the rope down leftish. And never, ever, take a line exactly into a corner. But you knew that.
Barbara – Umm, yeah, I knew that . . . I think I need to see examples – and contrarian examples!
