Joe, For me it depends on the subject. My first glance was one of pattern and color, not objects. As such, the breaking into thirds makes sense. You almost need to defocus a bit to see it that way.
If the subject is the tree/house, then the composition suffers, as you say. Hard to say what the intent was. -- Best regards, Bruce Sunday, September 3, 2006, 9:09:32 AM, you wrote: JT> This is a question about composition.
