I hate to say this but many who claim to be photographers or are technically proficient
in all aspects of photography doesn’t know the basis of composition. And composition
is not all about cutting up the viewfinder into nine magical cubes and assume that
anything placed in thirds is a perfect balance. Balancing is more than that. The balance
between object and space, between smooth and coarse textures, between darkness and
light, the balance of shapes, the same goes for artist too! Go look at a Picasso or a Miro
or a Dali or even photographers like Brassai and Henri Cartier and find me that nine
cubes you so jealously guard and worship? It is embarrassing how professionals choose
images to win awards when their choices are just so elementary!
