When composing a shot the decisions you make in terms of cropping, focal length, black & white vs. color or overall placement of the shot, are all extremely critical in creating interesting and compelling composition.
Here are a few things Picibee photographers look for in heightening the level of composition.
-Look for and appreciate the qualities of contrasting shapes. Like "ham & egg".
-Be aware of proportions of objects and shapes & forms. Like a tall thin man and a short stocky, together they compliment and balance each other.
-Try to find calm in chaos. This can be difficult but this is where cropping and choosing a camera point of view will play a key part.
-Don't give choices. Force the eye to take in all the forms and to move through your design in specific way but always the way you see it.
-Try to activate the negative volume around and between your positive forms.
And in short make a unified visual statement.
