OK, when I shared this with my friend, who is a pro photographer, he said:

It's just now dawned on me that "composition" can exist in two ways: Content and Position.

You're talking about the compositional "content" , while the others may strickly be thinking of compositional "position".

I have to say you have a wonder analytical eye-brain relationship.

I guess true artists analyse/perceive/compute so quickly and transform to print/canvas.

You have an amazing talent.

You capture emotion very well.

Dude! You're way too intelligent for me I cannot attempt to understand how you derived at the composition so easily and artisticly....I can only say "Yes" and nod.

I'm not very analytical and not good at composition....heck I find it difficult to even keep the horizon straight!

Please don't take offence...but I don't think I'm at the same artistic level as what you guys are "playing" at. Your pictures are ART...it's philosophical...it's Freud...it's Darwin...it over my head.

Yes...you new explaintion made me realise that composition is more than just "position".

What you are explaining to me, reminds me of learning Shakespeare at highschool...each word has a significance...I stumble to understand and recognise.

Thats how Masters are differentiated from the rest of the herd.

I think I'll leave the discussion of Composition to the learned.

That's easy.

He said, "I'm lying."

You're talking about the compositional "content" , while the others may strickly be thinking of compositional "position".

Hmmmm. Oxymorons?


You will release me?

I should note that English is not his first language.

You will sentence me 6 years.

I think, when it comes down to it, Evo, you are to pictures what Tim Hardaway is to hoops in this Nike commercial:

You got skeeelz.

Very good, Art. You got to be butta, cuz you on a roll!

I don't think I'm at the same artistic level as what you guys are "playing" at.

What does he mean by playing?

I'm concerned that some of them may respond that way, like my photographer friend.

Where did you find that? Reminds me of Super Mario Land.

I just took it as a sport kind of reference to different levels of ability, kind of like saying "You got game"; it doesn't necessarily mean the play is referring to something trivial, nor entertainment.
