Default Concepts of COMPOSITION : Manipulating space
Just bought a book on "Composition", and working on aspects of perspective, how to manipulate the appearance of space and how to get the viewer to 'read' the image; the need to look for the simplest theme; the need to get rid of unwanted clutter. Long way to go. Not even on page 5 yet, but this is the first of many as I work through the book. You may like to join me. Please do. PAUL

I agree, great perspective on this lovely church, and what a gorgeous sky. And there's that creepy bush again that I first saw in Glyn's B&W from the churchyard!

I must agree with the others Paul, the composition is perfect on this! Sounds like a good book, I might have to get it.

Paul sounds like a good read I will have to look into that one. Your shot is great, not only well composed but has great contrast also. Well done my friend!

Thanks Jim. It's actually a tiny village church. Looks like a cathedral from here. Cheers. PAUL
