[...] another outing today with new Nikon D7000 and the 18-200 VR lens. You may recall my post of Sept. 4, 2011 where I sang the virtues of this great lens-how sharp it is even extended all the way to the long [...]

This picture works in it’s simplicity. It allows your eye to travel up the road, and the tree is a natural feature of the landscape. I think it fuels your imagination as to what lies ahead. Rules are guidelines and beauty is in the eye of beholder. I like it.

I love the picture the way it is and I think that the path is what makes it work.

Deborah, you are allowed to do whatever you would like, when you are making your own photo. Put the tree right in the center if you wish. I can tell you see my point. By themselves, the elements would not have worked, but in this instance, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Thanks for the comment.

The tree is almost in the center of the frame. The dirt path with its ruts, the grass shadows on the path, the fence posts all are sort of in the bottom third. (Are you not allowed to cross over the demarcation line a little bit?) Also, the clouds radiate out from the top of the tree are in the top third. I like the photo and want to know what is over the hill.

Wow Marilyn, I didn’t expect this answer! LOL But, your response vividly demonstrates how subjective composition can be. Your mention that you would prefer the tree be off to right a bit more tells me that composition is something you do by instinct. Great! This is a touch skill to master, but really makes a bit difference in the final image.

Thank you for the comment…

Yes, BJ, that was my thought, as well. Breaking rules is sometimes necessary. The tree is in an odd place and wouldn’t work at all for me if the road leading to it were not such a large element in the image.

Thanks for the comment!
